Well. I think I got my answer. C/I does not correspond to Ec/N0; it corresponds to DTCH BLER instead; which again can only be calculated once the UE has dedicated channels assigned to it.
Ec/N0 is simply a ratio of powers at a very “low level” (i guess physical layer). No data has been received and checked for errors yet.
Do correct me if I am wrong.
