DYNAMIC TELEMETRY LINK SELECTION FOR AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- an implantable device comprising;
a first telemetry circuit configured to establish a near field wireless link with an external device and a second telemetry circuit configured to establish a far field wireless link with the external device; and
an external device comprising;
a communication circuit configured to communicate with the implantable device using the near field and far field wireless links; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the communication circuit, wherein the processor is configured to dynamically switch a priority link between the near field link and the far field link for communication with the implantable device, wherein a communication session is first attempted using the priority link.
