I wonder if you could help with one aspect that has been confusing me? It is to do with the link budget. Well-accepted calculations (e.g. page 226 of “LTE for UMTS” by Holma and Toskala show that the maxmimum path loss for LTE is about 163 dB. In this case, the Measured RSRP by the UE would be around -138 dBm. But it is also commonly acknowledged (and UE measurements bear this out) that, if the RSRP is less than -120 dBm, no service is possible. That is a discrepancy of 18 dB. Are you able to shed any light on this? Best wishes, Chris
