Interpretation of RSSI in Simu5G

[ChristophPargfrieder]

I want to plot RSSI values for a 5G network simulation and have a question regarding the RSSI values used in signal comparison for handover. These values are computed by calling getSINR (which returns the received power per resource block) and taking the average. The resulting values are somewhere in the range between 30 and 50 in my simulation.

I wonder what units these values are and what is the value range here? From my understanding, the RSSI is usually on a range from 0 to -120 and in dBm. However, the values I get for the RSSI are positive values which are too high for typical RSSI. Can someone enlighten me as to what these RSSI values are in Simu5G and can they be converted to the typical scale?

As the name of the getSinr() function says, it returns SINR values expressed in dB, not RSSI values. The log that is printed output actually mentions RSSI, but that is wrong and misleading.
