A method of sharing processing loads among a plurality of communication devices (20) interconnected within a mesh network (10) is described herein. According to one exemplary embodiment, a communication device (20) with a processing load selects one or more helpers (20) to share the processing load from a set of load sharing candidates within the mesh network (10). To select the helpers (20), the communication device (20) assesses the available power resources for each of the candidates (20), and selects one or more helpers (20) based on power availability criterion. The requesting device (20) then allocates a portion of the processing load to each selected helper (20).
