1. A communication system, comprising:

  • a receiver capable of receiving data at a data reception rate; and

    an energy harvesting electrical power source, capable of producing an output power that is available to the receiver,where the receiver is configured in operation to maximize the 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, andwhere the receiver is configured in operation to;

    increase the data reception rate when the available output power of the energy harvesting power source is predicted to increase, unless the data reception rate is at a maximum value; and

    decrease the data reception rate when the available output power is predicted to decrease.
