Abstract: An energy harvesting electronic device includes an energy storage device and a processor that is configured to receive a first message from another electronic device requesting the transmission of a first data object and determine a first amount of energy required for transmitting the first data object and a second amount of energy required for receiving a second message from the other electronic device. After determining that the amount of stored energy is sufficient for transmitting the first data object, the processor determines, based on the second amount of energy, whether the remaining amount of energy after transmitting the first object is sufficient for receiving the second message, sets an indicator to indicate whether or not the remaining amount of energy stored in the energy storage device after transmitting the first object is sufficient, and transmits the first data object and the indicator to the other electronic device.
