Medical telemetry system with wireless and physical communication channels

A method for assigning transmission channels in a telemetry system comprising a transmitter for providing a wireless data transmission with a receiver the method comprises the steps of:

• monitoring transmission activity in the receiver in a range of frequency channels for determining channels in use;
• and
• during a contact phase, providing a data communication between the transmitter and the receiver independent of the wireless data transmission for assigning a transmission channel to the transmitter or to the receiver, wherein the receiver operates to assign the transmission channel to the transmitter in accordance with the determined channels in use.

A method for assigning transmission channels in a telemetry system comprising a transmitter for transmitting electromagnetic signals, and a receiver for receiving the signals from the transmitter, the method comprises a step of:

• during a contact phase, providing a data communication between the transmitter and the receiver for assigning a transmission channel to the transmitter or to the receiver,
• wherein--during the contact phase--the receiver further transfers to the transmitter:
• a unique transmitter identity code for the transmitter, or a receiver identity code of the receiver, or information about a standby mode of the transmitter or personal information about a person who will receive or carry the transmitter.
