In this paper

the data aggregation of UWSN

and clustering of UWSN

and the characteristics of UWSN are summarized and compared with ground network. The structure of UWSN and its potential applications are described in detail. Various data aggregation and clustering schemes for underwater wireless sensor networks and the requirements for the implementation of recent research are discussed. The main goal of using data aggregation technology is to accumulate data in an energy-saving manner for long-term network monitoring. Clustering technology can control network topology according to certain criteria

improve the efficiency of data aggregation

and contribute to the efficient use of energy. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to encourage researchers to lay the foundation for the development of advanced network schemes with more efficient and reliable performance by providing the proposed data aggregation and clustering schemes as a reference.
