Hello rmahant,dkfjhvkdfkd
I looked up the 3GPP spec 36.214 for the definitions of RSRP, RSSI and RSRQ.
Find below the same:
RSRP:
Reference signal received power (RSRP), is defined as the linear average over th
e power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry cell-specific
reference signals within the considered measurement frequency bandwidth.
Note1: The number of resource elements within the considered measurement frequen
cy bandwidth and within the measurement period that are used by the UE to determ
ine RSRP is left up to the UE implementation with the limitation that correspond
ing measurement accuracy requirements have to be fulfilled.
RSSI:
E-UTRA Carrier Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), comprises the linear a
verage of the total received power (in [W]) observed only in OFDM symbols contai
ning reference symbols for antenna port 0, in the measurement bandwidth, over N
number of resource blocks by the UE from all sources, including co-channel servi
ng and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, thermal noise etc.
RSRQ:
Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) is defined as the ratio NRSRP/(E-UTRA ca
rrier RSSI), where N is the number of RB s of the E-UTRA carrier RSSI measurement
bandwidth. The measurements in the numerator and denominator shall be made over
the same set of resource blocks.

From this it seems to me that the RSSI is calculated like this:

1. Measure power from all sources during a particular PRE when the reference sig
nal is present.
2. Repeat above step for all the PREs in this PRB during which reference signal
is present.
3. Find the average of the above power values.
4. Find the total of all these averages over N PRBs.
So now RSSI is actually reflecting average power per PRE over N PRBs, that is wh
y there is the factor N in denominator.
Note: N is not the entire 50 PRBs in 10 MHz but only those PRBs that are used in
RSSI calculations.

Let me know if you have any comments.

Thanks.
