Enhanced m-ary encoding telemetry

A system including a tool drill string having a downhole device, the system comprising:

• a surface processor;
• a telemetry controller communicatively coupled to the surface processor;
• and
• a pulser configured to actuate to transmit one or more pressure pulses to the surface processor, wherein the pulser is communicatively coupled to the telemetry controller, and the telemetry controller is configured to:
• set a first data rate for the one or more pressure pulses to encode a first information sequence;
• control, via a command, the pulser to transmit the first information sequence encoded in the one or more pulses to the surface processor;
• responsive to the first information sequence encoded in the one or more pulses being transmitted to the surface processor, modify the first data rate to a second data rate for the one or more pressure pulses to encode a second information sequence;
• control, via a second command, the pulser to use the second data rate to transmit the second information sequence encoded in the one or more pulses to the surface processor.

• and
• a pulser configured to actuate to transmit one or more pressure pulses to the surface processor, wherein the pulser is communicatively coupled to the telemetry controller, and the telemetry controller is configured to:
• modify a data window of a data frame, wherein the data window comprises a plurality of time units and the telemetry controller modifies the data window by dividing each time unit of the plurality of time units by a certain amount;
• and
• control, via a command, the pulser to transmit a pressure pulse at a position in the data frame in increments having the certain amount instead of the plurality of time units.
