Customer Rating:      Summary: Good reference - not overly mathematical, yet detailed Comment: A excellent introduction to the latest mobile communications technologies. Sufficiently technical to give the reader a very good background into these areas, Schiller nevertheless manages to explain things with sufficient clarity for readers new to this area. The accompanying web site is also very useful.
