In this paper, we propose an energy-harvest-aware route-selection method that incorporates harvest availability properties and energy storage capacity limits into the routing decisions. The harvest-aware routing problem is formulated as a lin- ear program with a utility-based objective function that balances the two conflicting routing objectives of maximum total and maxi- mum minimum residual network energy. The simulation results show that doing so achieves a longer network lifetime, defined as the time-to-first-node-death in the network. Additionally, most existing energy-harvesting routing algorithms route each traffic flow independently from each other. The LP formulation allows for a joint optimization of multiple trafic flows. Better residual energy statistics are also achieved by such joint consideration compared to independent optimization of each commodity.展开更多
