2.0 out of 5 stars Junky ... but sadly the only one worth reading, May 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WCDMA for UMTS: HSPA Evolution and LTE (Hardcover)
If you attend standards meetings - they zig-zag, meander and bend your mind and numb your brain - without being useful. This book has the same feel. And yet everything else on the market is even worse. There is a real opportunity here for someone to come in and write a book that is worth reading. In the meantime, if you can't bear to read standards and you have to read something - this is it.

If you are interested in the core principles of DS spread spectrum applied to cellular then read Viterbi's book. Simple and elegant - if a bit dated. It doesn't have the coherent uplink innovations and all the EVDO/ HSPA (multiuser diversity, MIMO etc.) - but if you use the first principles approach of the book, you will pick up all of these on your own. And then if you need to know the details and the hairly UMTS names (PCCPCH etc.) - you can read this junk.
