One of the critical issue in Wireless Sensor Network is energy consumption during sensing and communication. To reduce this issue, researchers have proved that energy efficiency can be minimized using bio inspired algorithms. It assumes that nodes have characteristic such as self organization, dynamic topology. Here we propose a multicast routing protocol called Bats Energy Efficient Multicast Routing Protocol (B‐EMP), wherein power consumption is reduced by delivering the packet using multicast trees. It has high computational efficiency, low variance and high capability to handle noise in the data set compared to other wrapper methods. After the deployment, specific source and destination nodes are grouped in region for multicast routing. B‐EMP introduces the strategy of grouping the nodes to select the intermediate nodes for constructing the multicast trees. Simulation results which show that B‐EMP can achieve high performance in terms of network lifetime 18% compared to Energy Group Multicast Protocol (EGMP) 15% zonal routing protocol.
