Abstract
The disclosure herein provides a method of acquiring seismic data that includes receiving seismic signals at one or more sensors; sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a same bit length; arranging the samples into a plurality of packets; compressing the plurality of packets by varying a time interval between transmissions of at least some of the packets; and transmitting the compressed packets.
Claims22
A method of acquiring seismic data, comprising:
- receiving seismic signals at one or more sensors;
- sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a same bit length;
- arranging the samples into a plurality of packets;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of packets by varying time intervals between transmissions of the packets.
