contents This paper investigates a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based approach for managing channel access in wireless networks. Specifically, we consider a scenario in which an intelligent user device (iUD) shares a time-varying uplink wireless channel with several fixed transmission schedule user devices (fUDs) and an unknown-schedule malicious jammer. The iUD aims to harmoniously coexist with the fUDs, avoid the jammer, and adaptively learn an optimal channel access strategy in the face of dynamic channel conditions, to maximize the network's sum cross-layer achievable rate (SCLAR). Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that when we appropriately define the state space, action space, and rewards within the DRL framework, the iUD can effectively coexist with other UDs and optimize the network's SCLAR. We show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the tabular Q-learning and a fully connected deep neural network approach.
