Abstract
Systems and methods for conducted communication are described. In one embodiment, a method of communicating with a medical device implanted within a patient comprises receiving, at a medical device via electrodes connected to the patient, a conducted communication signal, wherein the conducted communication signal comprises a signal component and a noise component. The method may further comprise adjusting, by the medical device, a receive threshold based at least in part on an amplitude of the received conducted communication signal so as to reduce an amplitude of the noise component of the conducted communication signal.
