Abstract
Systems and methods according to the exemplary embodiments enable non-cognitive radio devices to operate as if they were cognitive radio devices. A pilot radio device analyzes a local radio environment and broadcasts a spectrum map message which indicates, for example, available radio resources in the local radio environment. A non-cognitive radio device receives the spectrum map message and uses the information in the spectrum map message to select a radio resource for its own transmissions and/or receptions.
