You only need to study the topics that we covered in class.  For
example, from Chapter 10 I'll only expect you to know about GSM
and IS-95, not DECT or IS-54.  Since the class notes are in point
form you'll probably want to review the relevant material in the
book.

The exam is open-book so it's more important that you understand
the concepts and where to find the information rather than
memorizing details.
