Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include channel selection and mapping for medical device communication. The communication system can implement a two-stage listen before talk protocol to choose a channel for communication. The first stage samples the interference of each channel for a relatively short time and chooses the best signal. The second stage samples the channel selected by the first stage and samples it for a relatively longer time to confirm the channel selected by the first stage is the best channel for communication.
