An introduction to third-generation (3G) mobile communication system principles, concepts and applications. It presents the basics of UMTS systems without getting bogged down in advanced mathematics. The volume contains: an overview of UMTS systems; information on 3G technology standards; a review of the wideband CDMA air interface; details on network architecture; and guidance in network planning and management. Other key topics include new concepts in the UTMS network, 3G system signalling procedures, 3G services and applications, modulation and coding, and standardization organizations and industry groups. Moreover, the work takes a look at the future of wireless communications, projecting the continued evolution of 3G systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly technical description of all major facets of 3G,
By Mike Tarrani "www.tarrani.com" (Deltona, FL USA) - See all my reviews (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Introduction to 3G Mobile Communications (Hardcover)
This book is a systematic look at 3G's component parts and underlying technologies. It is not an engineering text in that there are no formulae or engineering details with respect to signalling, capacity or performance (even though network planning considerations are addressed).It dissects 3G, starting with principles to provide an anchor. The table of contents shows the progression in which the author deals with 3G as a collection of components, principles and protocols: Principles of Division Multiple Access, WCDMA Air Interface: Physical Layer, Modulation Techniques and Spread Spectrum, Spreading Codes, Channel Coding, WCDMA Air Interface: Protocol Stack. Network, Network Planning, Network Management, Procedures, New Concepts in the UMTS Network, 3G Services, and 3G Applications. Because of the technical nature of this book and the level of detail given, it's best suited for readers who are familiar with the technical underpinnings of TDMA, CDMA or GSM. The writing is clear and augmented by numerous illustrations, and each chapter ends with a list of references. The references are a strong point about this book because they are up-to-date and include books, papers and URLs. If you are looking for engineering details this is the wrong book. If you have a background in related technologies and want to quickly get up-to-speed in 3G this is an excellent resource.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good Overview. As good as Kaaranen's book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to 3G Mobile Communications (Hardcover)
This book covers a general overview of 3G wireless communication systems. Content is rich and covers many concepts. Some chapters could be more detailed and some chapters gives a feeling like reading a summarized version of 3GPP specs. There is not much maths in the book and it is easy to understand both by managers, engineers and marketing guys. Diagrams are nice and text is in plain English. What is particularly good is the chapter on signaling procedures. This book is perhaps as good as Heiki Kaaranen's book. Warmly recommended.
