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 a portion of the available output power of the energy harvesting power source useable to receive data 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.
