Abstract
A method, system and program code are provided to implement a wireless network having a plurality of devices in which one of the devices coordinates wireless communications between the devices. The method and system evaluates device parameters of one or more of the plurality of devices, the device parameters including at least available power source characteristics for a device; and determines a coordinator from the plurality of devices based on at least the available power source characteristics, such as an available power source capacity, for the one or more of the plurality of devices, the coordinator adapted to coordinate wireless communications between the devices in the wireless network.
