Abstract
In this paper we present our results from our ongoing measurement campaign, which is targeting to provide information on the current radio noise levels. Our focus is to understand if the increasing number of users and devices with inbuilt transceivers has increased the noise levels considerably. In the literature it is almost universally assumed that the radio noise is a white Gaussian stochastic process and we are testing also how often deviations from this baseline are found. Our measurement approach is able to capture frequency and time domain data at very high accuracy. In this paper we report the first results from several different spatially separated measurement areas, enabling the study of noise levels at diverse indoor and outdoor locations. Our results show that the noise levels have indeed been increasing and we present a specific example on how these increased noise levels can affect today's telecommunications systems.
