Here are my thoughts on the subject of RSSI-CCI:
I disagree that one-way measurements on the downlink broadcast will
suffice. In a symmetrical link such as TDD, a one-way measurement
would suffice to characterize the return links. Otherwise, both
uplink and downlink measurements are needed to fully characterize the
link losses or link quality.
I believe that RSSI-CCI does not tell the whole story, and that
additional measurements may be necessary. There should be a tie-in
between the intended use of the measurement and the measurement
description. Intended-use would help to determine accuracy needed
and sampling frequency. I think there could be many solutions
depending on intended uses.
