Systems and methods for maintaining a bi-directional communication between an implantable medical device and an external device

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for maintaining a bi-directional communication link between an external device and an implantable medical device (IMD). The systems and methods receive a connection request from an external device at the IMD. The communication request includes one or more communication link parameters based on a wireless protocol, defining a first communication interval. The systems and methods establish a bi-directional communication link between the external device and the IMD based on the one or more communication link parameters, and receive, during the first communication interval, a data packet from the external device along a first data channel, the data packet including an adjusted communication link parameter. The adjusted communication link parameter include a second communication interval.

1. A method for maintaining a bi-directional communication link between an external device and an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
receiving a connection request from an external device at an IMD, wherein the communication request includes one or more communication link parameters based on a wireless protocol, the one or more communication link parameters defining a first communication interval; establishing a bi-directional communication link between the external device and the IMD based on the one or more communication link parameters; and receiving, during the first communication interval, a data packet from the external device along a first data channel, the data packet including an adjusted communication link parameter, wherein the adjusted communication link parameter includes a second communication interval having a length that is different from a length of the first communication interval.
