Routing Protocols are engaged in a vigorous fashion to boost up energy\nefficiency in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol; Minimum\ndistance Based Energy efficiency using Hemisphere Zoning with Advanced\nDivide-and-Rule scheme (M-BEHZAD), to maximize network lifespan, throughput and\nstability period of the sensors deployed in an un-attended network zone. To\naccomplish these objectives, static clustering technique along with threshold\nconscious transmissions have been used. The robustness of our proposed scheme\nlies in its Cluster Heads (CHs) selection and network field division which we\nare introducing as 'Hemisphere Zoning (HZ)'. We have implemented 3-Tier\narchitecture to minimize the communication distance which not only leads to a\nbetter network performance but also significantly reduces the energy and\ncoverage holes, and results in a longer stability period. We have also utilized\nUniform Random Model (URM) to compute packets dropped to make our scheme a more\npractical approach. Results from comprehensive simulations using MATLAB\nvalidate its applicability.\n
