Wireless　sensor　networks　(WSNs)　have　received　a　lot　of　attention　due　to　numerous　advancements,　especially　in　smartphones,　smart　watches,　smart　homes,　and　even　smart　cities.　Aside　from　WSNs　progression,　they　are　affected　by　a　combination　of　factors,　including　network　efficiency,　link　asymmetry,　and　energy　loopholes.　This　paper　introduces　a　novel　approach,　particularly　useful　for　challenging　receiver-initiated　asynchronous　heterogeneous　networks,　which　are　competitive　due　to　low　energy　consumption.　In　WSNs,　inefficient　energy　consumption　is　a　widespread　issue　that　drastically　decreases　the　lifetime　of　each　deployment　network.　To　overcome　these　challenges,　we　proposed　an　intelligent　Asymmetry　link　Quality　Routing　(ALQR)　protocol　for　WSNs　with　a　low　energy　consumption　clustering　protocol.　Additionally,　If　there　is　no　cross-channel　traffic,　ALQR　provides　adequate　connection　control　at　a　low　cost,　making　it　more　advantageous　to　WSN　applications.　We　investigated　the　effectiveness　of　our　proposed　protocol　compare　to　multiple　state-of-the-art　clustering-based　protocols.　According　to　the　findings,　ALQR　outperforms　in　terms　of　region　and　lifetime,　while　ALQR　ensures　overall　throughput.　©　2022　Elsevier　B.V.
