Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
According to the preface, this is a textbook to be used for a course introducing engineering students to mobile communications. However, the authors feel that it can also be used as a technical reference. Part one outlines the basic concepts. Chapter one looks at propagation channel characteristics, with lots of math and graphs but limited discussion of the implications. The simplest system of mobile communications, private mobile radio (PMR), still makes chapter two extremely complex. Part two details propagation modelling. Chapter three examines multipath propagation, reflections, scattering, and yet more math. Propagation path loss is dealt with in chapter four. Mobile network systems engineering, in chapter five, concentrates on traffic and coverage, in the aspects of quality, availability, and extent. The new mobile scenarios involved with microcells and indoor connections add to propagation complexity, and are addressed in chapter six. Chapter seven's analysis of base station design is primarily concerned with schematics for multifrequency use of antenna systems, and has much less detail than the preceding material. Part three reviews standards for mobile communications. Chapter eight outlines trunked systems components, management signalling, and traffic. The additional concepts involved in cellular systems, concentrating on the basic AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System), are given in chapter nine. Chapter ten provides a good overview of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). Other mobile radio systems; such as North American Digital Cellular (NADC), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), and cordless; are listed in chapter eleven. Chapter twelve looks at future mobile communication systems, mostly protocols in progress. copyright Robert M. Slade, 2000
