Abstract

An electrical system may include a processing circuit and one or more electrical components that emit thermal heat energy. The processing circuit may be configured to identify signal degradation or failure of an in-band communication channel between the electrical system and a second electrical system, identify a data message to transmit to the additional electrical system via an out-of-band communication channel, and direct the one or more electrical components to adjust an electrical workload to modulate and transmit the data message on the out-of-band communication channel as a recoverable sequence of thermal pulses.
