Abstract
A method performed by a first node includes determining a routing metric for individual nodes in a set of nodes, receiving a network packet from a second node, selecting a third node in the set of nodes based on the routing metrics, and transmitting the network packet to the third node. The routing metric for a respective one of the set of nodes being based on at least one of a power storage status of the respective one of the set of nodes or a solar power generation status of the respective one of the set of nodes.
