Abstract:
A method for transmitting data from a MWD system at the BHA of a drill string may include transmitting the data in a MWD signal from the MWD system. The MWD signal may be modulated at a position closer to the surface onto a mud pulse modulated signal. The mud pulse modulated signal may be generated by a downhole friction reducing device. The downhole friction reducing device may include a mud motor. The mud motor may create pressure pulses based on its speed of rotation. The downhole friction reducing device may include a modulating valve. The modulating valve may be electromechanically or mechanically operated. The modulated signal may be detected at the surface by a receiver using one or more pressure or flow sensors. The receiver may use one or more harmonics of the modulated signal to receive the data.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the MWD signal is modulated onto the pressure pulse modulated signal by one of frequency shift key, phase shift key, amplitude modulation, quadrature amplitude modulation, minimum shift key, chirp modulation, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS), time hopping spread spectrum (THSS), chirp spread spectrum (CSS) or a combination thereof.
