We consider the problem of dynamic multichannel access for transmission maximization in multiuser wireless communication networks. The objective is to find a multiuser strategy that maximizes global channel utilization with a low collision in a centralized manner without any prior knowledge. Obtaining an optimal solution for centralized dynamic multichannel access is an extremely difficult problem due to the large-state and large-action space. To tackle this problem, we develop a centralized dynamic multichannel access framework based on double deep recurrent Q-network. The centralized node first maps current state directly to channel assignment actions, which can overcome prohibitive computation compared with reinforcement learning. Then, the centralized node can be easy to select multiple channels by maximizing the sum of value functions based on a trained neural network. Finally, the proposed method avoids collisions between secondary users through centralized allocation policy.
