1. A power-efficient communication device, comprising:

  • a transmitter with a data transmission rate determined, at least in part, by output power from an electrical power source that is available to the transmitter, wherein the electrical power source is a power source with a defined power and energy characteristic in which a peak power sourcing ability of the electrical power source is limited while an amount of energy the electrical power source can source is indefinitely large, andwherein the transmitter in operation minimizes a ratio of peak-to-average power consumption of available output power from the electrical power source used in transmitting data in order to maximize energy consumption of the available output power from the electrical power source per unit time.
