Abstract:
A medical system and method of communicating between a telemetry controller and a plurality of medical devices implanted within a patient is provided. Communication links are respectively established between the telemetry controller and the implanted medical devices. The communication links are respectively amplitude modulated by the implanted medical devices at modulation levels using load modulation. Received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of the amplitude modulated communication links for the implanted medical devices are measured. A variation of the RSSIs is decreased by modifying, based on the measured RSSIs, at least one modulation level at which the respective at least one communication link is amplitude modulated by the respective implanted medical device(s).

Claim (Index 17):
The medical system of  claim 16 ,\n wherein the telemetry controller further comprises:\n an amplitude detector configured for detecting a peak-to-peak amplitude of the induced amplitude modulations of the primary carrier signal envelope; \n control circuitry configured for determining the RSSIs from the detected peak-to-peak amplitudes, and generating at least one command based on the measured RSSIs; and \n a downlink modulator configured for amplitude modulating the primary carrier signal envelope on the primary coil with the at least one command, thereby inducing an amplitude modulation of the secondary carrier signal envelope, encoded with the respective command, on the secondary coil of the at least one implantable medical device; and \n each of the at least one implantable medical device further comprises:\n a downlink demodulator configured for amplitude demodulating the modulated secondary carrier signal envelope to acquire the respective command; and \n control circuitry configured for modifying the respective modulation level in accordance with the respective command.
