Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is proposed a method for collecting, in a collecting device distinct from a central unit, data coming from a plurality of seismic acquisition units. The method includes a step of assigning at least one device as a sink unit. For a given sink unit, the method also includes the following steps for data specific to at least one seismic acquisition unit not assigned as a sink unit: transmitting the specific data from the at least one seismic acquisition unit to the given sink unit, via a radio path established in a radio multi-hop network built at least with the given sink unit and the plurality of seismic acquisition units; and transmitting the specific data from the given sink unit to the collecting device, via a link.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: collecting, in a collecting device distinct from a central unit, data coming from a plurality of seismic acquisition units, said collecting device being used by a field operator and enabling said field operator to retrieve and process the collected data without any communication with a lab team which manages the central unit, wherein the collecting comprises: assigning at least one device as a sink unit, and wherein, for a give…
