Embodiment Construction

[0014] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing optical communication links in free space. Managing an optical communication link may include or refer to establishing an optical communication link between two or more devices, and maintaining an optical communication link between two or more devices. A communication link in free space may refer to, for example, any communication that does not travel at least in part through optical fibers, wires, or other physical conduits. For example, a communication link in free space may include optical communication through a medium such as air or ocean water, sea water, lake water, or other aqueous media or fluids.

[0015] To manage optical communication links in free space, the present disclosure provides devices that include a link manager agent that can manage optical links. These devices can be configured using half-duplex technology, allowing an optical transmitter and receiver pair to unilaterally identif...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides optical link management in a marine seismic environment. A first device can transmit, to a second device, a first optical transmission at a first output level. The first optical transmission can include a first packet corresponding to a network protocol. The first device can determine that the second device failed to receive the first packet via the first optical transmission. The first device can transmit, responsive to failure of the first optical transmission, a second optical transmission at a second output level different than the first output level. The second optical transmission can include a second packet corresponding to the network protocol. The first device can identify that the second packet was successfully received by the second link manager agent. The first device can establish, responsive to the identification that the second packet was successfully received, the second output level as a transmission output level for the first device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Utility Patent Application No. 15 / 286,834, filed October 6, 2016, entitled "OPTICAL LINK MANAGEMENT," filed April 27, 2016 under 35 U.S.C. §119 Priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 328,417, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background technique [0003] Seismic data can be evaluated to obtain information about subsurface characteristics. This information may be indicative of a geological profile of subsurface portions of the Earth, such as salt domes, bedrock, or stratigraphic traps, and may be interpreted as indicating the possible presence or absence of minerals, hydrocarbons, metals, or other elements or deposits. The device may transmit seismic data using a communication link. However, managing communication links between devices can be very challenging due to environmental variables.
