Very informative , Well-presented but ....

This is one of the best books I've seen and read on 3G matters. Not recommended for those people who are not technical enough (or who hates) to go into the details of mathematical formulas. This book starts with presenting the architecture of UMTS networks and goes on to describe each of the components of a UMTS network (from user equipment up to the core network). Written by people who actually work with Nokia (one of the companies in the world who are at the forefront of UMTS development).

This book can be very helpful to UMTS network planners but it's VERY LIMITED on the subject of optimisation. If you're looking for a book on UMTS (WCDMA) optimisation, this book will not suffice but the subjects of network planning (with and without GSM) are very well covered. Nonetheless, this book is highly recommended !!! 4 stars!
