Measuring directed RSSI
You may want to measure the Receive Signal Strength
Indicator between a portable and a specific base station radio.
For example, you may suspect that a radio in a base station is
not working properly. You can also use directed Receive
Signal Strength Indicator to prevent hand-off while you find a
cell edge. To measure the Receive Signal Strength Indicator of
a desired radio, you must be in range of two base stations—the
one you want to measure, and another base station.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator applies to
one radio in a base station.
You cannot measure the directed Receive Signal
Strength Indicator of the other radio in the base
station to which you are connected.
