Configuration of Energy Harvesting Devices

A method implemented in a wireless device configured to communicate with a network node of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

• selecting a first energy profile of the wireless device;
• transmitting to the network node a first indication indicating the first energy profile;
• receiving a first energy configuration from the network node, the first energy configuration being received in response to the first indication indicating the first energy profile;
• updating at least one wireless device activity in response to the received first energy configuration;
• and
• communicating with the network node in response to the updated at least one wireless device activity.

A method implemented in a network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, wherein the network node is configured to communicate with a wireless device and the method comprises:

• receiving, from the wireless device, a first indication indicating a first energy profile of the wireless device;
• selecting a first energy configuration based on the first indication indicating the first energy profile;
• transmitting the energy configuration to the wireless device for updating at least one wireless device activity in response to the first energy configuration;
• and
• communicating with the wireless device in response to the updated at least one wireless device activity.
