Abstract
Some implementations include a method for transmitting encoded information via operations of drilling equipment in a drilling system comprises. The method may include emitting, via a first device, a first signal indicating first encoded information. The method may include determining a relationship between a first aspect of the first signal and a second aspect of a second signal, the relationship indicating second encoded information. The method may include emitting, via a second device, the second signal in relation to the first signal so the first and second aspects exhibit the relationship.
Claims17
A method for transmitting encoded information via operations of drilling equipment in a drilling system, the method comprising:
- emitting, via a first device, a first signal indicating first encoded information;
- determining a relationship between a first aspect of the first signal and a second aspect of a second signal, the relationship indicating second encoded information comprising a portion of a data stream having information values independent of information values encoded in the first and second signals;
- and
- emitting, via a second device, the second signal in relation to the first signal so the first and second aspects exhibit the relationship,
- wherein the first aspect of the first signal is a first leading edge of the first signal and the second aspect of the second signal is a second leading edge of the second signal, and wherein the relationship is a time duration between the first and second leading edges.
A method for transmitting encoded information via operations of drilling equipment in a drilling system, the method comprising:
- emitting, via a first device, a first signal including a first pulse that includes a first leading edge,
- wherein the first pulse indicates first encoded information and;
- determining a first time duration between the first leading edge and a second leading edge of a second pulse of a second signal, wherein the first time duration indicates second encoded information comprising a portion of a data stream having information values independent of information values encoded in the first and second signals;
- and
- emitting, via a second device, the second pulse of the second signal so the second leading edge is separated from the first leading edge by the first time duration, wherein the second pulse indicates third encoded information.
A method for transmitting encoded information via operations of drilling equipment in a drilling system, the method comprising:
- emitting, via a first device of the drilling system, a first signal with a first aspect indicative of a first encoded information;
- and
- emitting, via a second device of the drilling system, a second signal with a second aspect indicative of a second encoded information, wherein the emission of the second signal is performed in a relationship to the first signal, and wherein the relationship between the first signal and the second signal indicates a third encoded information comprising a portion of a data stream having information values independent of information values encoded in the first and second signals,
- wherein the first aspect of the first signal is a first leading edge of the first signal and the second aspect of the second signal is a second leading edge of the second signal, and wherein the relationship between the first and second signals is a time duration between the first and second leading edges.
