    摘要: A telemetry system is presented for enabling radio-frequency (RF) communications between an implantable medical device and an external device in a manner which reduces the power requirements of the implantable device by duty cycling its circuitry. A wakeup scheme for the implantable device is provided in which the external device transmits a data segment containing a repeating sequence of special wakeup characters in order to establish a communications session with the implantable device. The wakeup scheme may be designed to operate in the context of a handshaking protocol for collision avoidance.

    摘要: Methods and systems for media access control allow master and slave nodes of a network to communicate using the same carrier while avoiding collisions of transmissions. At least one slave node is an implantable device. Master nodes initiate all data exchange sequences, and slave nodes are responsive to the data exchange sequences. The exchange sequences begin by master nodes contending for use of the carrier through a countdown procedure. A set order of communications occurs between a master node who won the contention and a slave node being communicated with by the master node to transfer a data frame. Contention is then repeated to determine the next master node that is allowed to transfer a data frame. New master nodes entering the network employ a discovery process to poll for existing devices in the network.

    摘要: An implantable medical device comprising a plurality of implantable electrodes to sense the electrical activity and an implantable medical device coupled to the electrodes. The implantable medical device includes a plurality of sense amplifiers in communication with the electrodes to produce analog electronic signals representative of the electrical activity and a programmable sampler. The implantable medical device also includes a controller that programmably enables the sampler to selectively sample the electronic signals. The controller also includes memory in communication with the controller for storage of the sample values. The controller configures the memory based on the programmable sampling.
