The digital standard known as the Global System for Mobile (GSM) has captured a large share of the global cellular market. This book aims to bridge the gap between a reader’s basic knowledge of telecommunications and the complexities of the 5000-page GSM technical specification. It describes the system as a whole, covering all aspects of the standard, including mobile stations, switching equipment, the radio interface, infrastructure, transmission methods, and signaling protocols. System architects involved in the design of personal communications systems will find the book to be a complete description of the GSM communications system. It also may serve as a general introduction to digital cellular systems.

Review
The book is well written, accurate, and clearly understandable. The diagrams are all clearly depicted and easily understood. -- IEEE Personal Communications, April 1995
About the Author
Both Michel Mouly and Marie-Bernadette Pautet graduated from Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris. Pautet also received a master of science degree from Stanford University.
Both authors have been actively involved in the development and evolution of the GSM standard since 1983, in particular in the specification of signaling, security, and radio transmission standards.
Pautet was a member of the permanent GSM expert team responsible for managing the GSM specification, and she chaired the sub-group of the GSM standardization committee that deals with radio interface signaling. Mouly has chaired standardization groups since 1988. He is currently (under contract from Nortel) chairman of SMG.3, which is the group in charge of GSM architecture and protocols, as well as GSM evolution toward UMTS.
Pautet and and Mouly previously worked for France Télécom, and Mouly later joined Matra Communication. They are currently both private telecommunications engineer consultants who focus on GSM systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent source of information on GSM!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The GSM System for Mobile Communications (Hardcover)
This is an excellent resource for those working with or learning about GSM. While GSM has changed a bit since the publication of this book, the vast majority of the information remains applicable. The only information that I found missing was related to changes/additions that happened after the publishing of this book. All aspects of GSM are explained in an easy to understand way without omitting detail, as is so often the case in other books. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in GSM.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The ultimate book on GSM. Period.,

This review is from: The GSM System for Mobile Communications (Hardcover)
I have worked on GSM sytems for over 3 years and have not seen a resource on the subject which is as detailed, comprehensive and easy to understand as this book. While it is true that you gain most of the knowledge through hands on experience in the industry and reading white papers, this book should be the starting point for every engineer or manager who wants to understand the subject. I first read this book 4 years ago, and even after you gain a lot of experience, believe me there will be times when you want to refer to a certain issue and scan through the pages of this book. The only downside is that, it is a little outdated, but the basics still remain the same for today's GSM systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Among the best books that thorougly cover GSM.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The GSM System for Mobile Communications (Hardcover)
The authors are among the people that made GSM happen. The book covers all the major and minor aspects of the GSM system and is organized in such a way that it can be very well accessed by all types of technical and non-technical readers. Very detailed schemata and analytical descriptions answer any question regarding, GSM origin, concept implementation, hardware, communication methods, Time & Frequency issues, security & billing. If you can aford the price it is worth it.
