"This book provides a tutorial introduction to digital mobile wireless networks, illustrating theoretical underpinnings with a wide range of real-world examples. The book begins with a review of propagation phenomena, and goes on to examine channel allocation, modulation techniques, multiple access schemes: and coding techniques. GSM, 15-136, and IS-95 systems are reviewed and 2.5G and 3G packet-switched systems are
