Power efficient communications

摘要

A method, system, and device provide power-efficient communications within the context of available power. Transmission and receipt data rates are scalable in accordance with output power available from a power source. Data is transmitted at a data rate determined, at least in part, by the available output power.

主权项

1. A wireless transmitting system, comprising:
an energy harvesting electrical power source, capable of producing an output power determined to be available; and a transceiver configured in operation to enable peak 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 transceiver configures to have a data transmission rate determined, at least in part, by the available output power and receiving data at a data reception rate determined, at least in part, by the available output power.
