Abstract: This paper aims to design an energy-efficient multi-hop Multipath sub-clustering routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks. This paper presents a routing protocol for heterogeneous WSNs that selects cluster heads based on the highest remaining residual energy in a node using an optimal probabilistic equation. The heterogeneous technique involves the multi-hopping of inter-cluster communication and connectivity among the remaining sensor nodes using a sub-clustering technique. The sensor nodes with high residual energy will become cluster heads and send data packets to the base station. After conducting successive simulations of this routing protocol using MATLAB 2022b software, it was found that the protocol improves the number of alive nodes, the number of data packets transmitted to the sink in a network, and also increases the network lifetime by 75%-80% compared to other protocols. The simulation results were obtained by comparing the proposed method with O-LEACH, EEE-LEACH, Z-SEP, and LEACH. The results show that our proposed method is more stable and energy-efficient than the other routing protocols.
