First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for reestablishing a communication session comprising:
- an antenna; and
a telemetry module coupled to the antenna, the telemetry module configured to detect loss of an established communication session with a telemetry module of a device, attempt to reestablish the communication session on a same channel as the established communication session that was lost, and attempt to reestablish the communication session on any channel of a plurality of available channels using a wakeup feature of the telemetry module upon the failure to reestablish the communication session on the same channel.

Abstract
Techniques are described for recovery of an inadvertently lost communication session between an implantable medical device (IMD) and another device. For example, the IMD or other device may detect loss of the established communication session, attempt to reestablish the communication session on a same channel as the established communication session that was lost, and attempt to reestablish the communication session on an unspecified channel using a telemetry wakeup feature upon the failure to reestablish the communication session on the same channel.
