  Underwater acoustic communication networks (UACNs) are considered a key enabler to the underwater internet of things (UIoT). UACN is regarded as essential for various marine applications such as monitoring, exploration, and trading. However, a large part of existing literature disregards the 3-dimensional (3D) nature of the underwater communication system. In this paper, we propose a K-tier UACN that acts as a gateway that connects the UIoT with the Space-Air-GroundSea Integrated System (SAGSIS).
