1. A medical device comprising:

  • a communication module configured to deliver a plurality of pulses to tissue of a patient, where each pulse comprises an amount of energy;

    a control module operatively coupled to the communication module, the control module configured to;

    for each delivered pulse, determine whether the delivered pulse produces an unwanted stimulation of the patient;

    change the amount of energy of the plurality of pulses over time so as to identify an amount of energy that corresponds to an unwanted stimulation threshold for the pulses;

    set a maximum energy value for communication pulses that is below the unwanted stimulation threshold; and

    deliver communication pulses below the maximum energy value during communication with another device.
