Abstract
An intra-body network system, comprises a first implantable medical device comprising a first communication circuitry and a second implantable medical device comprising a second communication circuitry. The first and second communication circuitries are configured to establish, in an implanted state of the first and second implantable medical devices, a communication for transmitting a communication signal from the first implantable medical device to the second implantable medical device and from the second implantable medical device to the first implantable medical device. The first and/or second implantable medical devices comprises an antenna arrangement configured to transmit and/or receive a communication signal in a first configuration state using a first directive radiation characteristic, in a second configuration state using a second directive radiation characteristic different from the first directive radiation characteristic and a third configuration state using a third directive radiation characteristic different from the first and second directive radiation characteristics.
