Taking into account the statistical properties of arrival traffic, a Markov Decision Process (MDP) is formulated to maximize the network throughput subject to SP reservations. By introducing the policy tree of the MDP, we
present an optimal access policy. Each user can track this policy tree by carrier sensing and learn its transmission opportunity. As computational complexity of the policy tree grows exponentially with the total number of users, an efficient heuristic algorithm is proposed based on the MDP formulation where each user is
assigned a deterministic backoff value. Numerical results show that performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm closely
matches to the optimal policy. Moreover, both optimal and heuristic algorithms significantly improve TDMA and CSMA in terms of packet delivery ratio and isolation in unsaturated networks.
