Authors - Sarah Rahim, Guhanathan Poravi Abstract - In mobile networks without fixed base stations (MANETs), finding the best path for data is difficult when devices are constantly moving. Traditional methods often lead to dropped data and wasted battery. This study introduces a smarter approach by combining the standard routing protocol with a "Dolphin Partner Optimization" (DPO) algorithm. Much like how dolphins coordinate, this system picks the best path by looking at battery life, connection stability, and speed all at once. Testing shows this new method keeps the network running longer and sends data much more reliably than older systems.
