Fifth Generation (5G) technology has started providing the brand new facilities to the mobile communication world. With its enhanced performance and scalability, it has attracted many domains. Routing overhead in 5G networks is increased rapidly because of the complexity present in the route discovery process, where optimization in routing. Poor routing becomes a sophisticated and dynamic challenge in the 5G network. Hence, there exists a need for finding the best route in an optimized manner. This paper proposes an Improved Wolf Prey Inspired Protocol (IWPIP) for finding the ideal route in the dynamic environment like 5G based cognitive radio ad-hoc network. IWPIP focuses on finding the ideal route based on the reliability of route, shorter distance, and shorter hops that minimize the consumption of energy to increase the network lifetime. Before sending the data packets, routes are evaluated using a fitness function. IWPIP's efficiency has been demonstrated through comprehensive simulation, which resulted in promising outcomes in terms of throughput, packet delivery and drop ratio, delay, and energy consumption.
