Abstract

Methods and systems for multiple carrier frequency, half duplex cable telemetry for a wellsite. The methods involve generating a first type of bi-directional message in a first propagation mode, generating a second type of bi-directional message in the first propagation mode and in a second propagation mode, transmitting over a cable operatively coupling a surface modem and a downhole modem the first and second types of bi-directional message sequentially in a plurality of time periods across a single frequency bandwidth, and separating each of the first and second types of bi-directional message from a most subsequently transmitted one of the first and second types of bi-directional message by a quiet time sample during which no message is transmitted.
