3  Under specific operational conditions, intense solar radio bursts (SRBs) have been observed to interfere wireless communications (e.g. Lanzerotti, 2007; Messerotti, 2008).  In particular, outstanding solar radio events have been identified as primary sources of significant GPS synchronization failures lasting for more than 10 minutes (e.g. Afraimovich et al., 2007, 2008; Messerotti, 2009a, 2009b). 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M. Messerotti, A. Marassi 3

4  In this work we suggest a scheme for SRB characterization in the single-frequency radio flux-time domain and we present its application on a sample outstanding SRBs detected by the Trieste Solar Radio System (TSRS) on 2005.07.14.  Specifically, we comment on the relevancy of this approach to the evaluation of wireless communication interference risk in space weather applications. 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M.

8  A key factor in the evaluation of the interfering potentiality is represented by the statistics of the attention threshold exceeding and by the polarization time evolution (e.g. GPSs are sensitive to RH-polarized signals).  Apart from the maximum radio flux density level and predominant polarization sense, a full characterization of SRBs in terms of energetics and timing requires a high time resolution analysis of the event profile. 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M. Messerotti, A. Marassi 8

9  The evaluation of the interference risk by a SRB can be based on the following basic parameters derived from single frequency recordings: a)Radio flux density threshold exceeding b)Occurrence frequency of threshold exceeding time intervals over the SRB total duration c)Duration of threshold exceeding time intervals d)RH polarization time evolution during the event  Such parameters have to be cross- correlated with the response timings of a communication system (e.g. a GPS unit) 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M. Messerotti, A. Marassi 9

10  We started exploring the high time resolution analysis of potentially interfering SRBs on a Trieste Solar Radio System data set by:  Developing a dedicated software analysis tool to:  Display TSRS high time resolution (1 ms) data  Perform peak intensity, duration and occurrence analysis  Derive the relevant statistics  A sample analysis has been performed assuming an interference threshold of 1,000 SFU at 1420 MHz, RH-polarized solar radio data 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M.

32  As experimentally proven, outstanding SRBs can interfere wireless communications, in particular GPS and GNSS  No SBR prediction system exists to date.  An effective characterization of SRBs is needed to set up a warning system.  We have outlined an interference risk evaluation scheme based on high time resolution, single- frequency time profile analysis.  The preliminary analysis shows the need to use the maximum time resolution for a proper characterization of the events.  The next step involves an extension of the SRB data set and the correlation with GPS data to identify possible failures associated with the radio enhancements in the light of the derived statistics. 17/11/2009ESWW6-2 M.
