What is RSCP
RSCP stands for "Received Signal Code Power." It is a measurement used in telecommunications, particularly in the context of mobile networks, to quantify the power level of a received signal from a specific cell tower or base station. RSCP is typically expressed in decibels relative to one milliwatt (dBm).
In the context of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks, RSCP is an important parameter for assessing the quality of the radio link between a mobile device and the network. It helps in determining the strength of the signal that the mobile device is receiving, which can affect call quality, data transmission rates, and overall user experience.
Higher RSCP values indicate a stronger signal, while lower values indicate weaker signals. Network operators use RSCP measurements to optimize network performance, manage handovers between cells, and troubleshoot
