(*) The RSSI and LQI are described as follows:

• A high RSSI value means that packets are being received with a strong RF signal.

• A high LQI value means that packets are being received with a low packet-error-

rate (PER).

Note: that both RSSI and LQI are best used as relative measurements since the values are

dependent on the modulation format.

Note (*): RSSI and LQI can vary widely. Human

movement and varying EMI (radio frequency

interference) can have considerable effect on

RSSI and LQI even for links between stationary

nodes.
