Ec/Io & RSCP are terms related to WCDMA.

Ec/Io : It is the ratio of Received power of the carrier to the all over Noise.
It is used to measure quality of Pilot Channel.
RSCP : Received Signal Code Power. It is measured after despreading of the signa
l (Narrowband). It is a some of RSSI(Received signal strength) and Ec/No in dbm.
RSCP (dbm) = RSSI(dbm)+Ec/No(dbm)
Difference between RSSI & RSCP:
RSSI - "Receive Signal Strength Indicator", is a circuit to measure the strength
of an incoming signal.
RSCP :The Received Signal Code Power is the received power on one DPCH, PRACH or
PUSCH code after de-spreading, defined on the pilot symbols
