If the current serving cell is not an E-UTRA cell, the <rsrq> and <rsrp> parameters are set to 255.
The Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is a LTE specific measure that averages the power received
on the subcarriers carrying the reference signal. The RSRP measurement bandwidth is equivalent to a
single LTE subcarrier: its value is therefore much lower than the total received power usually referred
to as RSSI. In LTE the RSSI depends on the currently allocated bandwidth, which is not pre-determined.
Therefore the RSSI is not useful to describe the signal level in the cell.
