ABSTRACT:
A seismic data acquisition method is provided that includes receiving seismic signals at a sensor; sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a selected number of bits (“bit length”); arranging the samples in packets, wherein some of the packets include one or more compressed samples; and transmitting the packet to a remote unit.
