Abstract
A method in a node is disclosed. The method comprises determining (1304) a first route from a first source node (505 A) to a destination (510), the first route comprising one or more relay nodes (515, 615). The method comprises determining (1308) an energy-harvesting routing metric, the energy-harvesting routing metric for use in determining a second route from a second source node (505B) to the destination (510). The method comprises determining (1312) the second route from the second source node (505B) to the destination (510), the determined second route comprising one or more relay nodes (515, 615) selected to maximize the determined energy-harvesting routing metric.
