depends on who is doing the measuring. For consumers, the measure is how many calls of yours are dropped. However, engineers will always refer -- for the sake of apples vs. apples -- to refer to the 30 foot datum. Then, you quote how much better the signal level is over the datum.

I guess mobile telephone reception is still measured by how well you can receive a call with a roof mounted antenna connected to a 5 pound transceiver mounted in the trunk of your car.
