Abstract: In the environment of underwater communication networks, buoyant sensor mobility poses unique challenges that hinder efficient data transmission and network reliability. Traditional routing protocols struggle to navigate the dynamic underwater environment, leading to packet loss, high latency, and inefficient energy consumption. In response to these challenges, this paper introduces OctoRoute, a novel routing protocol designed to revolutionize buoyant sensor mobility in underwater communication networks. OctoRoute leverages Octopus Optimization (O2) and Enhanced Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (EGPSR) techniques to dynamically adapt to changing environmental conditions, optimize routing paths, and maximize data transmission efficiency. Through comprehensive performance evaluations, OctoRoute consistently outperforms traditional protocols by achieving higher packet delivery ratios, lower packet drop ratios, increased throughput, reduced delay, and improved energy efficiency.
