Network Parameters in RantCell
MCC Mobile Country Code is used in wireless telephone networks (GSM, CDMA, UMTS,
(Mobile Country Code) etc.) to identify the country which a mobile subscriber belongs to Example: MCC
value for UK is 234 &235. It varies and depends on country.
MNC Mobile Network Code is used to uniquely identify a mobile subscriber’s network
(Mobile Network Code) the Mobile Country Code is combined with a Mobile Network Code. Example for
Operator like British Telecom: MCC and MNC value for UK is 234 & 0.
CID Cell Identity shows the identification number returned by the cellular base station
(Cell Identity) to which the device is currently connected. Depending on the network owner the
cell ID may refer to the complete base station or a specific sector on a base station.
If user is conducting a survey while driving (e.g. car or train) the Cell ID will change
as your device disassociates and associates with different base stations during the
journey. This information is reported to RantCell.
LAC Each location area has unique number with network.This code is used to identify
(Location Area Code) location of mobile subscriber.

TAC Tracking Area Code indicates eNBID to which Tracking Area the eNBID belongs (per
(Tracking Are Code) Cell)
 Unique within a PLMN16
ECI E-UTRAN Cell Identifier is used to identify a cell uniquely within a Public Land
(E-UTRAN Cell Identifier) Mobile Network (PLMN).

ENodeB An eNodeB is an element of an LTE Radio Access Network, or E-UTRAN. A HeNB
(E-UTRAN NodeB) performs the same function of an eNodeB but is optimized for deployment for
smaller coverage than macro eNodeB, such as indoor premises and public hotspots.
PSC Primary Scrambling Code is available only on 3G (UMTS) network.
(Primary Scrambling Code)
PCI Physical Cell Identity is mainly used by UE to decode physical layer data being
(Physical Cell Identity) transmitted by eNodeB. Cell ID in SIB1 is designed for eNodeB management within
the core network, but this one is also used for UE to identify a specific cell in terms
of RRC/NAS layer processing.
RSSI Received Signal Strength Indication is used to measure the power level that a RF
(Received Signal Strength device, such as Wi-Fi or 3G client is receiving from the radio infrastructure at a given
Indication) location and time. Usually, the higher the RSSI the better the quality and speed of
the communication through the radio segment.
RSSI > -89dbm Signal quality is excellent
RSSI < -90dbm &> -99dbm Signal quality is good
RSSI < -100 dbm &>-112dbm Signal quality is average
RSSI <-113 dbm Signal quality is bad
RSRP Reference Signal Received Power is the linear average of reference signal power (in
(Reference Signal Received Watts) across the specified bandwidth (in number of REs). This is the most important
Power) item to measure for cell selection, reselection and handover.
RSSI > -89dbm Signal received power is excellent
RSSI < -90dbm &> -99dbm Signal received power is good
RSSI < -100 dbm &>-112dbm Signal received poweris average
RSSI <-113 dbm Signal received poweris bad
RSRQ Reference Signal Received Quality is defined as (N x RSRP)/RSSI, where N is the
(Reference Signal Received number of RBs over the measurement bandwidth. As you see from the definition of
Quality) RSSI, RSSI contains all sorts of power including power from co-channel serving and
non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, thermal noise, etc.
RSRQ > -7 dbm Signal received quality is excellent
RSRQ < -8 dbm &> -9 dbm Signal received quality is good
RSRQ <-10 dbm Signal received quality is bad
Network Data This refers to 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and CDMA network.
Network Operator Name Example: Vodafone, T-Mobile etc.
Packet A packet is the unit of data that is routed between an origin and a destination on
the Internet or any other packet-switched network.
Throughput Throughput is the amount of data that can be transferred over your Internet
connection at one point in time.
Latency This contributes to network speed.
RTT Round-Trip Delay Time (RTD) OR Round-Trip Time (RTT) is the length of time it
(Round Trip Time) takes for a signal to be sent plus the length of time it takes for an acknowledgment
of that signal to be received. This time delay therefore consists of the propagation
times between the two points of a signal.
Downlink (DL) Throughput This shows the most recent download speed (in Mbps) obtained during a
Throughput test. User must have a test in progress and have selected to conduct
throughput tests for this to display a metric. Downlink speed contributes to the
overall performance of the connection. User can manually set the frequency of the
Throughput tests when starting a test. If user internet downloads speed is:
Greater than 1.2 Mbps Speed is good

 Between 1.2 & 0.4 Mbps Speed is average
Less than 0.4 Mbps Speed is poor
Uplink (UL) Throughput This shows the most recent upload speed (in Mbps) obtained during a Throughput
test. User must have a test in progress and have selected to conduct throughput
tests for this to display a metric. Uplink speed contributes to the overall
performance of the connection. If user internet uploads speed is:
Greater than 0.5 Mbps Speed is good
Between 0.5 and 0.2 Mbps Speed is average
Less than 0.2 Mbps Speed is poor
Setup Time Duration between the time user has pressed call button to time user hears the first
ring from called person. If the Setup Time is:
Less than 4.5 Network Connectivity is good
Between 4.5 and 8 Network Connectivity is average
Greater than 8 Network Connectivity is poor
