SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING NON-COGNITIVE RADIO DEVICES TO FUNCTION AS COGNITIVE RADIOS

摘要

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.
