First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical device for validating and receiving a preamble signal and for receiving a transmission of medical data, the medical device comprising:
- device circuitry for controlling the operation of the medical device and for processing the medical data; and
a receiver for validating a modulation pattern of the preamble signal, extracting configuration data embedded within the preamble signal, and adjusting a configuration of the receiver according to the configuration data to receive the transmission of medical data.

Abstract
Medical data is communicated from a transmitter of an external unit to a receiver of an implantable medical device. The transmitter generates a preamble signal having encoded configuration data that informs the receiver of configuration settings to be used in receiving the medical data. The receiver detects the preamble and validates a modulation pattern of the preamble. Configuration data is decoded from the preamble signal and the receiver configuration is adjusted to receive the medical data.
