Wireless Sensor Networks entitled with Mobile Sinks (WSN-MSs) based routing schemes have been extensively explored to prolong the network lifetime. Data collection is an important issue for sensor nodes as they have limited energy, various routing have been proposed earlier for data collection of both homogeneous and heterogeneous networks. In this research paper, we propose Diplomatic Data collection using Mutated LEACH (DDC-ML) Routing protocol for (WSN-MSs) ensures maximum throughput, minimum delay and packet loss rate. Clustering is an effective approach to increase energy efficient data transmission. The behaviour of our proposed technique is the node that takes the role of Cluster Head (CH) supposing of CH dies. So CH is based on maximum energy. Thus, the proposed activities minimize the overall energy consumption of the network and periodically increase the data transferred to Base Station (BS). Ultimately, DDC-ML performs better than the selected existing techniques in terms of the chosen performance metrics thereby outperforming in large scale sensor networks.
