Excellent Resource,
By AZ Cyclist "Mike H" (Chandler, az USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wireless and Mobile Network Architectures (Paperback)
I found the book to be very informative and well laid out for use as a reference. It has been a life saver in giving a good background on each technology. I have been asked by several of my wireless networking peers about the book and all have found it an excellent reference.

An excellent wireless and mobile networks text book for CS,
By Cem Ersoy (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wireless and Mobile Network Architectures (Paperback)
I used this book as the textbook for an undergraduate course in our computer enginnering department last semester. Unlike its alternatives, this book does not require a signal and systems background which makes it the ideal choice for departments such as ours. If you are teaching a group of CS or mixed EE/CS undergraduate students, I strongly recommend the book. In general, the book is easy to read and gives the reader a broad understanding of the topic. Chapters are organized in a manner that the book will be useful for the North American, European or Far Eastern community as examplified in the inclusion of different signalling systems from different regions. Another property of the book which makes it attractive is the inclusion of very hot topics such as VoIP,GPRS,WAP, 3G services, wireless local loop which makes the book timely and complete.

Full of unexplained terms and confusing descriptions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wireless and Mobile Network Architectures (Paperback)
The typesetting makes this book unpleasant to read. However, it is the writing style that makes the reading a frustrating experience: The author throws you piles of technical terms without clearly explaining their meaning, or the relation to and difference from related acronyms. It might be a book for you only if you are already a telecom expert. Otherwise, you would probably find yourself in a similar situation to mine--hoping someone can help you with tons of questions you cannot find answers for from this book.
