What do you mean like "connection percentage" ? Do you mean like signal strength? If so, then yes. You can then make some basic heuristic guesses mapping signal level / RSSI to a connection percentage based on some assumptions. For example, you could look at the minimum RSSI required to guarantee some decent stability at each receive/transmit rate (from 1mbit->54mbit, then MCS1->MCS23) and then use that to map out connection percentage (where stable at MCS0 / 1mbit would be lowest, and stable at MCS7/54mbit would be 100%.)
