Systems and methods for seismic data acquisition

摘要

Systems and methods for seismic data acquisition utilizing wireless modules to perform real time data read out. The wireless modules may be assigned a shared multiplexing sequence through which each module advances in successive transmission periods. Wireless modules belonging to a shared collision domain may be operated out of phase from one another with respect to the shared multiplexing signature sequence. As such, a dynamic multiplexing regime may be implemented. The shared multiplexing signature sequence may include, among others, a plurality of different frequencies, a plurality of different codes, or a plurality of different discrete time periods.

1. A system for use in seismic data acquisition, comprising:
a plurality of wireless modules, disposed in series, operable to wirelessly communicate seismic data, wherein said wireless modules define a wireless serial data transfer path for relaying seismic data from upstream modules to downstream modules and a data collection unit; a first wireless module in said serial data transfer path for transmitting seismic data using a shared multiplexing sequence, wherein in successive transmission periods said first wireless module sequences through said shared multiplexing sequence; and a second wireless module in said serial data transfer path for transmitting seismic data using said shared multiplexing sequence, wherein in successive transmission periods said second wireless module sequences through said shared multiplexing sequence; wherein said first wireless module is out of phase from said second wireless module with respect to said shared multiplexing sequence.
