| 1. An implantable device comprising:
an interface to receive an outbound message to be wirelessly communicated to a remote device using a communication channel;
a processor coupled to the interface and configured to encode the outbound message with redundant data to form an encoded
outbound message, the redundant data generated as a function of the outbound message and having a redundancy level selected
from a plurality of redundancy levels according to a characteristic of the communication channel, wherein the redundancy level
determines a number of times data is replicated within the outbound message and communicated to the remote device; and
a far field transmitter coupled to the processor and adapted to transmit the encoded outbound message at a message throughput
rate determined as a function of the redundancy level.
