How To Calculate RSRP
Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is defined as the linear average over the power contributions
(in [W]) of the resource elements (REs) that carry cell-specific reference signals within the considered
measurement frequency bandwidth.

RSRP
UE measures the power of multiple resource elements used to transfer the reference
signal but then takes an average of them rather than summing them.
The reporting range of RSRP is defined from -140 dBm to 44 dBm with 1 dB
resolution. The mapping of measured quantity is defined in the table RSRP mapping
3GPP TS 36.133 V8.9.0 (2010-03)
RSRP does a better job of measuring signal power from a specific sector while
potentially excluding noise and interference from other sectors
RSRP levels for usable signal typically range from about -75 dBm close in to an LTE cell
site to -120 dBm at the edge of LTE coverage.
For RSSI (Received Signal Signal Strength Indicator):
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is a parameter which provides information about
total received wide-band power (measure in all symbols) including all interference and thermal
noise. RSSI is not reported to e-NodeB by UE. It can simply be computed from RSRQ and RSRP
that are, instead, reported by UE.
SINR Definition
SINR is the reference value used in the system simulation and can be defined:
I: Interference
N: Noise
