Abstract: A method for communication between a geologic downhole measurement device and a receiver is provided. The method includes: receiving a bit sensitive data stream representing at least one property of at least one of a geologic formation and a borehole; grouping the data stream into at least one data block; and coding the data block with a forward error correction code. A system and computer program product for communication between a geologic downhole measurement device and a receiver are also provided.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for transmitting a first data set from a tool to a receiver are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first plurality of measurements using the tool to form a first dataset; saving data from the first plurality of measurements that form the first dataset in non-volatile memory; transmitting first data-groups derived from the first dataset to the receiver, each of the first data-groups comprising different measurements of the formation; and storing in the non-volatile memory a storage position of a last transmitted first data-group. Upon restoration of a loss of communications that prevents transmission of all the first data-groups, determining the storage position of the last transmitted first data-group; and continuing the transmission of the first data-groups from the storage position of the first data-group last transmitted before the loss of communications.
