1. A method of acquiring seismic data, comprising:
- receiving seismic signals at one or more sensors;
sampling the received seismic signals into a plurality of samples, each sample having a same bit length;
compressing at least some of the samples in selected packets before arranging such compressed samples into packets;
arranging the samples into a plurality of packets;
computing packet efficiency for a packet of the plurality of packets before computing the time intervals between the transmissions of the packets; and
transmitting the plurality of packets by varying time intervals between transmissions of the packets.
