OpenBTS and noise

Post by mgamble »

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome noise issues with OpenBTS and bladeRF? I followed all the directions to build everything and it appears to be working, however, OpenBTS always reports crazy noise:

OpenBTS> noise
noise RSSI is -31 dB wrt full scale
MS RSSI target is -50 dB wrt full scale
WARNING: the current noise level exceeds the MS RSSI target, uplink connectivity will be impossible.

Any suggestions on settings or changes to correct this?

Thanks!

It's an antenna thing, mostly. Are your antenna's suitable for the freq range you're using?

that being said, -31 is usable. Just set the RSSI target to -25 or so and see if you have reception on the handset.
