SS-RSRQ is used in 5G NR networks to determine the quality of the radio channel. RSRQ, unlike RSRP (wanted signal strength), also includes interference level due to the inclusion of RSSI in calculation. This measurement is usefule to eveluate the qulity of cell coverage through the SS-RSRQ distribution,especially to optimize cell selection and handover related parameters configration, mainly in border parts of cell.
