Although a strong RSSI is desirable, it does not guarantee a quality signal. RXQUAL is a value that represents the quality of the received signal. The MS determines the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the signal and reports it back to the network. The BER is simply a percentage of the number of bits it receives that did not pass error checking. The bits may have been garbled along the RF path or lost due to fading or interference. The higher the BER the lower the signal quality. RXQUAL is given as a number from 0 to 7 and represents a percentage range of BER.
