WCDMA: Towards IP Mobility and Mobile Internet

Summary: Not Worth the Name
Review: I am very dissapointed with this book. This book does not really include any specifics on IP as mentioned on the cover. There is in reality only one chapter which covers IP, the rest of the book is more related to Physical Layer. Also there is a lack of continuity and clarity.

This book is good as far as physical layer is concerned but then their other book "Wideband CDMA for Third Generation Mobile Communications " also covers those topics.

Finally i would like to say that anyone who wants to purchase this book should first go through it before buying it.

Summary: A bit of everything but sections not sufficiently developed
Review: The "meat" of this book is largely composed of two portions: a compilation of technological developments in the WCDMA field, with emphasis on physical layer techniques, and another of information found in the standards. The book is definitely not entry level, despite the inclusion of introductory sections on wireless comms and CDMA in general. Furthermore, as the more advanced chapters are rather skimpy on details, readers may have to refer to the references provided for better understanding. Anything that does not fall under the gamut of the physical layer seems to be given peripheral treatment, in spite of the all-embracing title.

My opinion is that better resources for WCDMA can be sought for elsewhere, irregardless of the aspect of interest.
