982013 - B2G RIL: reconsider the desgin of signalStrength/relSignalStrength for GSM/CDMA/LTE.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: RIL, defect)

Description

[shawn ku [:sku]]

Since FxOS can support CDMA and LTE, the current  signalStrength/relSignalStrength seems not to fit all those technologies.

For GSM/UMTS case, signalStrength/relSignalStrength are enough for handling signal strength stuffs. However, we need to consider signalNoiseRatio for CDMA case, and rssnr for LTE case.

For above reason, signalStrength/relSignalStrength can not precisely reflect the signal condition to Gaia.

We should consider to redesign signal strength for better supporting on different techonolgies.
