1. A wireless system, comprising:

  • an energy harvesting electrical power source, capable of producing an available output power for an indefinite period of time and having a defined peak power characteristic; and

    a power efficient receiver configured in operation to enable a ratio of peak-to-average power consumption of the available output power of the energy harvesting power source to be minimized and to enable energy consumption of the available output power of the energy harvesting power source to be maximized per unit time, the receiver capable of a data reception rate determined, at least in part, by the available output power.
