To satisfy the high data rate requirement andreliable transmission demands inunderwater scenarios, it isdesirable to construct an efficient hybridunderwater opticalacoustic network (UWOAN) architecture by considering thekeyfeatures and critical needs of underwater terminals. In UWOANs,opticaluplinks and acoustic downlinks are configured betweenunderwater nodes (UWNs)and the base station (BS), wherethe optical beam transmits the high data ratetraffic to theBS, while the acoustic waves carry the control informationtorealize the network management. In this paper, we focus onsolving the networkinitializing problem in UWOANs, which isa challenging task due to the lack ofGPS service and limiteddevice payload in underwater environments. To this end,weleverage acoustic waves for node localization and propose anovel networkinitialization method, which consists of UWNidentification, discovery,localization, as well as decomposition.Numerical simulations are also conductedto verify the proposedinitialization method.
