Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Optical and Acoustic Dual Channel Multiple Access in Heterogeneous Underwater Sensor Networks

In this paper, we investigate how to efficiently utilize channel bandwidth in heterogeneous hybrid optical and acoustic underwater sensor networks, where sensor nodes adopt different Media Access Control (MAC) protocols to transmit data packets to a common relay node on optical or acoustic channels....
