Not known or not detectable
According to 3GPP TS 27.007 [47], the
<rssi>
value is not applicable to 3G networks.
Yet, with a view to employing
+CSQ
for all networks has been designed to show a
<rssi>
value derived from the 3G specific RSCP parameter is shown by AT+QENG.
Nevertheless, please note that connection quality in 3G networks is depending on
further factors. For example, despite good
<rssi>
or RSCP values for signal quality,
data throughput may vary depending on the number of subscribers sharing the same
cell.
