+### RSSI Reading
+
+Read signal strength (RSSI) values to check connection quality:
+
+```swift
+@MainActor
+func checkSignalStrength(peripheral: ConnectedPeripheral) async throws {
+    // Read RSSI value with timeout
+    let rssi = try await peripheral.readRSSI(timeout: 3.0)
+    print("Current signal strength: \(rssi) dBm")
+    
+    // Interpret signal strength
+    if rssi > -50 {
+        print("Excellent signal")
+    } else if rssi > -70 {
+        print("Good signal")
+    } else if rssi > -85 {
+        print("Fair signal")
+    } else {
+        print("Weak signal")
+    }
