Abstract
Telemetry of data from a Remote Data Source (RDS) in a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) for subterranean drilling. The BHA has a Bottom Mounted Mud Pulser (BMMP), a Main Processing Unit (MPU) and an acoustic sensor uphole from the BMMP, a shock absorbing tool downhole from the BMMP, and the RDS downhole from the shock absorbing tool. A first encoded RDS data signal is translated into an acoustic data signal, which follows an acoustic pathway to the acoustic sensor. An acoustic contact assembly sleeve preferably deployed uphole from the shock absorbing tool allows the acoustic data signal to bypass the shock absorbing tool. The acoustic sensor translates the acoustic data signal into a second encoded RDS data signal. The MPU decodes the second encoded RDS data signal into RDS data. The BMMP telemeters the RDS data received from the MPU in at least an uphole direction.
