USER DEVICE, A FIRST PEER NODE, AND METHODS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Abstract:

A method performed by a first peer node for acting as a P2P proxy for a user device is provided. The first peer node operates in a communications network. The first peer node establishes (201) a renewable energy profile of the first peer node used for powering the first peer node. The renewable energy profile indicates to what extent one or more energy sources are renewable. When a proportion of renewable energy according to the established renewable energy profile exceeds a first threshold, the first peer node acts (205) as a P2P proxy for the user device for downloading a piece of data to the user device by being powered according to its renewable energy profile.
