Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007020475A1] A wireless communication system (100), suitable for controlling a down- hole vehicle (105) remotely, comprises a vehicle mounted wireless transceiver (115) and an wireless transceiver (110) associated with a base station (104). A wireless communications channel operates between the transceivers (110,115) via electrically conducting infrastructure of a pipeline (102). A processor (120) at either of the transceivers (110,115) determines an available bandwidth of the wireless communications channel based upon a metric indicative of the quality of the channel. The processor (120) varies a rate of data transfer over the channel in response to the value of the metric. To be accompanied when published by Figure 1 of the drawings.
