In E/// networks the following will be used

Based on measurements of BLER on broadcast channels for the different radio access technologies, a rule of thumb that can be used for initial parameter settings is the following: [CPICH RSCP] + 7 dB is comparable to [GSM RSSI]
For example, a measured RSCP on a WCDMA CPICH of –100 dBm is comparable to a GSM broadcast channel RSSI of –93 dBm.

We are using this value in the inter-system ho relation planning(qoffset1sn=7dB).

Hope that helps.
