Mud pulse telemetry (MPT) is a low-cost borehole wireless communication scheme in the oil
drilling industry. Drilling mud is used as the medium to deliver logging information via mud
pressure pulses. However, the data transmission rate is severely limited by poor channel
conditions. To overcome the existing limitations and to achieve the full potential of the MPT,
a transmission model, which considers the effect of the boundary layer thickness on viscous
friction and the effect of pipe materials on characteristic impedance, has been proposed …
