  We present the association rates between solar energetic particles (SEPs) and
the radio emission signatures in the corona and IP space during the entire
solar cycle 23. We selected SEPs associated with X and M-class flares from the
visible solar hemisphere. All SEP events are also accompanied by coronal mass
ejections. Here, we focus on the correlation between the SEP events and the
appearance of radio type II, III and IV bursts on dynamic spectra. For this we
used the available radio data from ground-based stations and the Wind/WAVES
spacecraft. The associations are presented separately for SEP events
accompanying activity in the eastern and western solar hemisphere. We find the
highest association rate of SEP events to be with type III bursts, followed by
types II and IV. Whereas for types III and IV no longitudinal dependence is
noticed, these is a tendency for a higher SEP-association rate with type II
bursts in the eastern hemisphere. A comparison with reports from previous
studies is briefly discussed.
