RSSI, strictly speaking, is the received signal strength. (Received Signal Strength Indicator) The signal can be totally unmodulated or modulated in a very complex method with the same RSSI. I am wondering if what you are asking is about the minimum RSSI needed. Generally speaking, the more complex the modulation, the more received signal you need for a given error rate.
