All IP in 3G CDMA Networks : The UMTS Infrastructure and Service Platforms for Future Mobile Systems

Rating:
Summary: Very good book and suitable mostly for engineers.
Review: This is a very good book on UMTS concepts. Although the title emphasizes air interface techniques, this book pay attention both on UTRAN and core network as well. There is good enough detail on core network also. There are many good diagrams which help to understand. This book is rich in mathematics and covers theory also in some details. It is not for pure academic studies but perhaps this book could be more suitable for engineers rather than managers and marketing people. There are good books in the market on UMTS explaining how it works (Kaaranen and Korhonen). But if you were an engineer and if you wanted to know why it works that way and what is behind it then perhaps this book is the most suitable one for you. Warmly recommended.
