description Abstract Mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) adapts to the requirements of mobility of civil and military network devices and has received a lot of attention. Designing an efficient, low‐energy, and fault‐tolerant routing protocol for the frequently changing topology of highly mobile MWSNs is challenging. Most routing protocols today only support the movement of sensor nodes or only sink. This paper proposes a Multiple Mobile Sinks Coverage Maximization based hierarchical routing protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks (MMSCM), which allows sensor nodes and sinks to move simultaneously. The MMSCM divides the monitoring area into virtual grids and deploys a movable sink in each grid cell. Sink selects the appropriate next hop for each cluster head in the area to build an optimal routing forest and collects data from all routing tree root nodes at a uniform speed along the specified path with maximum coverage. Simulation results show that, compared with current advanced routing algorithms, the MMSCM protocol can better solve the network delay problem and improve data throughput while extending the network life cycle, which is more suitable for time‐sensitive application scenarios.
