Received Signal Code Power (RSCP)

Received power on one code measured on the
Common Pilot Channel (CPICH)
A downlink measurement, carried out by the UE
Can be obtained in idle mode and ac%ve mode

Received Signal Strength (RSS) Ac%ve mode only

wide band recived power, all in band noise
included (thermal noise and receiver noise)
RSSI describes the downlink interference level at
the UE side
in ac%ve mode only

SFN-SFN observed %me dierence

Time Dierence of System Frame Numbers (SFN)
between Two cells
TCPICHRxj TCPICHRxi

TCPICHRxj - Time when the UE receives one Primary CPICH slot from cell j
TCPICHRxi - Time when the UE receives the Primary CPICH slot from cell i
that is closest in %me to TCPICHRxj

Measured in idle mode / ac%ve mode by UE

Round Trip Time (RTT)

Corresponds to the Timing Advance Parameter in GSM
RTT = TRX TTX

TTX - Time of transmission of the beginning of a downlink DPCH frame to a UE
TRX - Time of recep%on of the beginning (the rst detected path, in %me) of the
corresponding uplink DPCCH frame from the UE

on Downlink DPCH transmiSed from NodeB and Uplink DPDCH

received in the same NodeB
in ac%ve mode only
