    Abstract: A method for adjusting a received signal strength indication (RSSI) begins by obtaining a first RSSI value of a first signal, wherein the first signal has a known first power level. The method continues when the first RSSI value does not substantially correspond to the known first power level by adjusting an RSSI intercept value of an RSSI curve until the first RSSI value substantially corresponds to the known first power level. The method continues by obtaining a second RSSI value of a second signal, wherein the second signal has a known second power level. The method continues when second RSSI value does not substantially correspond to the known second power level by adjusting slope of the RSSI curve until the second RSSI value substantially corresponds to the known second power level.
