The thresholds used do vary from country to country. One operator in the UK uses BTS 1 (-105dBm) as the back-stop for the lowest received signal strength at the BTS receiver.

For the MS receiver see TBR:

20.6 RX Measurement
20.6.1 Signal Strength
Test purpose:
1) To verify that the RMS received signal level at the receiver input is reported by the MS to the BTS over the full range of -110dBm to -48 dBm with a relative accuracy of +/- 1dB within any 20dB portion of the total measurement range.

2) To verify that the RMS received signal level at the receiver input is reported by the MS to the BTS over the full range of -110dBm to -48 dBm with an absolute accuracy of +/- 4dB from -110 dBm to -70dBm under normal conditions and +/- 6dB over the full range under both normal and extreme conditions.

3) To verify that if the received signal level falls below the reference sensitivity level for the class of MS and if the MS reports this signal then the MS shall report a level between the
reference sensitivity level and the actual received level.
