Practical testing applications are explored in depth and compared with similar techniques used with analogue cellular systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can be better, November 28, 2002
By 
Ahmad Alwajih (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: An Introduction to GSM (Artech House Mobile Communication Series) (Hardcover)
This book is a good entrance to the GSM world and can still serve as a quick handbook for GSM.
But the main problem is with the additional unnecessary text that some times can distract the reader away from the technical point being explained.

2.0 out of 5 stars A poorly written book, April 23, 1999
This review is from: An Introduction to GSM (Artech House Mobile Communication Series) (Hardcover)
Although this book gives the reader much useful information on GSM, the style is poor and and needs editing by Artech House. when I first read the book I got out my marker pen and delated large sections of useless text. The explanation of Channel Coding and Signalling, 5.14.4, started by saying 'The passengers (user data) in an airplane may have all paid full fare, the plane may be safe, and the accomodations exceptional, but nobody is going anywhere without the a pilot and crew (signalling data). The book is still in my bookshelf as it is a handy reference manual on GSM, but I am sure there are better books on GSM out there.
