Of cellular phones and the need for speed [review of "WCDMA Design Handbook"; )Riddle, A.; 2005)]

This book contains 14 chapters and covers some of the following material: the physical layer of the WCMA specification (five chapters); media access control (MAC) (three chapters); and radio resource control (RRC) (four chapters). The book seems balanced between math, practicality, software, and hardware. It is surprising because it is both concise and detailed. This book is a very well-thought-out tour of cell phones from the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) perspective.
