Communication system and method with preamble encoding for an implantable medical device
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 data comprising:
- a device circuitry configured to control the operation of the medical device and for processing the medical data; and
a receiver configure to validate a modulation pattern of the preamble signal, extracting configuration data that identifies one of a plurality of communication channels from within the preamble signal, and adjusting the receiver to the communication channel identified in the configuration 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.
