1. A surgical system for use in a surgical procedure, the surgical system comprising:
a surgical hub;
a powered surgical instrument comprising a first sensor and a second sensor; and
a communication module comprising a control circuit configured to:
receive first data from the first sensor regarding a first surgical activity of the surgical procedure;
receive second data from the second sensor regarding a second surgical activity of the surgical procedure, wherein the first data and the second data are detected simultaneously;
simultaneously transmit the first data and the second data between the powered surgical instrument and the surgical hub, wherein the first data and the second data are each transmitted at a transmission rate;
detect an irregularity in the second surgical activity based on the second data; and
adjust transmission rates of the first data and the second data to prioritize transmission of the second data over the first data based on the detected irregularity.
