To achieve better performance in dynamic spectrum access networks, each secondary user tracks channels and chooses a good channel to transmit its packet. When all secondary users adopt the same dynamic spectrum access policy, they have similar channel information, which leads secondary users to choose the same channel and more collisions among them. To relieve this problem, we propose an access policy using belief vector tracking method for other competing secondary users. Simulation results are provided to show that the proposed policy yields better performance than the existing policies which do not take into account what other secondary users are doing.
