Device, system and method with adaptive timing for tissue conduction communication transmission

A method comprising:

• transmitting a tissue conduction communication (TCC) test signal at each of a plurality of time points over a transmission test period via a transmitting electrode vector coupled to a TCC transmitter;
• detecting at least one response to the transmitted TCC test signals performed by a receiving device;
• establishing a transmission window based on the at least one response so that the transmission window is correlated to a time during the transmission test period of relative increased transimpedance between the transmitting electrode vector and a receiving electrode vector of the receiving device;
• and
• transmitting a TCC signal to the receiving device during the transmission window.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by device, cause the device to:

• transmit a tissue conduction communication (TCC) test signal at each of a plurality of time points over a transmission test period to a receiving device via a transmitting electrode vector coupled to a TCC transmitter and a conductive tissue pathway in a patient;
• detect at least one response to the transmitted TCC test signals performed by the receiving device;
• establish a transmission window based on the at least one response so that the transmission window is correlated to a time during the transmission test period of relative increased transimpedance between the transmitting electrode vector and a receiving electrode vector of the receiving device;
• and
• transmit a TCC signal to the receiving device during the transmission window.
