2. MICS Rules and Implication to MAC
May 2009
MICS Rules and Implication to MAC
No medical Implant device shall transmit except in response to a
transmission from a medical implant controller
‘medical implant events’. i.e when patient’s health is at risk
non-radio frequency actuation signal generated by an external device
Channels authorized for MICS operation are available on a shared basis only and will not be assigned for the exclusive use of any entity.
Within 5 seconds prior to initiating a communications session, medical implant controller must monitor the channel or channels the MICS system devices intend to occupy for a minimum of 10 milliseconds per channel (LBT or LBT+AFA)
Channel can be used for communication session if the no signal above the threshold power level is detected
