I bought this book sometime ago because I thought that the author's previous book was well written, however I never found time to read it thoroughly.
Over past few months, I discovered that I kept going back to the book and the author's blog to look for reference (e.g. to get a better understanding on SIM card, or to calculate spectrum efficiency and cell capacity, etc.). So I decided to bring this book with me on a trip and finally read the whole book (well... almost). I have to say this is another very well written book from the author. The writing is very clear and the figures show up at where they are needed, nothing fancy, dry, or redundant. Just enough text and figures to cover the topic and I never had to re-read a section to understand the subject (like I usually do when reading a 3GPP standard).
What I liked the most about this book is that the selected areas that the author chose to dive into reflected not only his thorough understanding of the standard, but also his obvious hands-on experience. This book was not only well comprehensible, but also practical, an excellent reference to have at your desk for a wireless engineer. I look forward to read future publications from the author, either at his blog or a new book.
