Wireless Engineering Body of Knowledge

The Wireless Engineering Body of Knowledge (WEBOK) was compiled by IEEE Communications Society as a basic reference for those seeking to obtain the Wireless Communications Engineering Technologies (WCET) certification. It expands on the list of topics covered in the WCET exam, providing introductions to various topics and including many references for further study.

the GSM System for Mobile Communications

(by Mouly and Patet). We consider this book to be the best overall introduction to GSM.

Microwave Mobile Communications

(by Jakes). This book is a classic reference on radio propagation.

Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice

(by Rappaport). This textbook is an excellent introduction to wireless communications systems.
