The Bell System Technical Journal (now called AT&T Technical Journal) Vol 58, No 1, Part 3, January 1979, is an entire issue devoted to Cellular Telephony - then known as AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service). It explains the theory, the development history, the initial service tests, and the hardware.
