Ooredoo outpaced Omantel for fastest 5G download speed Ooredoo also had the fastest median mobile upload speed during Q3 2021 at 13.74 Mbps to Omantel’s 12.00 Mbps. However, Ooredoo pulled ahead of Omantel during Q3 2021, achieving a median mobile download speed of 48.22 Mbps to Omantel’s 44.56 Mbps. Ooredoo overtook Omantel as Oman’s fastest mobile operatorĬompetition between Oman’s top providers, Ooredoo and Omantel, has been fierce over the past year. Jordan and Iraq had the slowest median download speeds on this list at 18.82 Mbps and 33.74 Mbps, respectively. Oman was a hair faster than Bahrain at 46.85 Mbps. had the fastest median mobile download speed among Oman’s regional trading partners at 109.92 Mbps during Q3 2021. Speedtest Intelligence® revealed the U.A.E. Oman is behind its regional partners for mobile performance during Q3 2021, but speeds are rapidly accelerating This article examines the state of Oman’s mobile performance during Q3 2021, including which provider had the fastest mobile performance, Oman’s 5G evolution, a governorate-level mobile analysis and snapshot of provider performance in Muscat using Ookla® Cell Analytics ™. With Oman rising in the mobile rankings and Muscat placing in the top 10 world capitals for fastest 5G during Q1-Q2 2021, Oman’s rise as a potential mobile powerhouse merits further investigation. That’s been paying off for consumers across the region, with United Arab Emirate (U.A.E.) operator Etisalat being awarded with the World’s fastest mobile network operator in 2020 and Gulf nations holding four of the top 10 spots on the Speedtest Global Index ™ during September 2021.

UE Measured RSRP equals to: Power from antenna – Path Loss = 25.2 – 128 = -102.Middle Eastern countries - particularly within the oil-rich Gulf - have been investing heavily in expanding and upgrading their mobile networks over the past few years. Let’s imagine Path Loss as 128dB in the UE location, then: Power from antenna: Power + Antenna Gain – Feeder Loss = 12.2 + 16 – 3 = 25.2dBm So based on calculation, transmission power for each Resource Element is 12.2dBm Number of subcarriers: 1200 (there are 1200 subcarriers in 20 MHz)

In this example we will see theoretical calculation of RSRP: UE measures all the reference signals which are carried by resource elements and makes an average of measurements to obtain an RSRP value. It is equivalent of CPICH Power in WCDMA. RSRP is used for cell selection, cell reselection and handover purposes in LTE. The Reference Signal is carried by Resource Elements (RE).

Reference Signal Received Power or with abbreviated version RSRP is linear averaged signal strength of Reference Signal.
