1. A wireless communication system, comprising:

  • a transmitter capable of transmitting data at a data transmission rate; and

    an energy harvesting electrical power source, capable of producing an output power that is available to the transceiver,wherein the transmitter is configured in operation to maximize an average power consumption of the available output power of the energy harvesting power source while maintaining a peak power consumption below the available output power of the energy harvesting power source, andwherein the transmitter is further configured in operation to;

    increase the data transmission rate of the transceiver after a number of consecutive successful transmissions or when the available output power is predicted to increase, unless the data transmission rate is at a maximum value; and

    decrease the data transmission rate of the transceiver after one or more unsuccessful transmissions or when the available output power is predicted to decrease.
