In this paper, we investigate the problem of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) in non-stationary environments, Where secondary users (SUs) and primary users (PUs) operate over a shared set of orthogonal channels. The non-stationarity is caused by the time-varying PU activity and the coupled channel access strategies of different SUs. Considering such non-stationarity and the channel dynamics, the DSA problem is formulated as a hidden-mode Markov Decision Process (HMMDP), Which can be decomposed into multiple MDPs under different modes. At each time, one of the modes is active, each mode corresponds to a unique MDP. The HMMDP is solved when the active mode is determined and the MDP under this mode is solved. We first propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for solving the MDP under a given mode. We then propose a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based approach to predict the active mode at each time slot. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms benchmark schemes by achieving significantly fewer collisions and improved spectrum utilization.
