Area of Science:

  • Information Theory
  • Data Compression
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Huffman coding is an optimal variable-length encoding method.
  • Efficient encoding of quantized data is crucial for data compression.
  • Existing methods can be computationally intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new encoding method for quantized data.
  • To achieve near-optimal compression efficiency comparable to Huffman coding.
  • To simplify the encoding and decoding processes.

Main Methods:

  • A two-component code word structure: prefix and kernel.
  • Prefix encodes kernel length using Huffman's method.
  • Kernel uses a fixed-length code after prefix decoding.

Main Results:

  • The new method achieves mean code-word lengths differing by only 0.1-0.2 bits from Huffman coding.
  • Encoding and decoding algorithms are simplified, requiring fewer operations.
  • The method is suitable for time series data and other quantized signals.

Conclusions:

  • The devised encoding method offers high efficiency with simplified computation.
  • It presents a practical alternative to Huffman coding for specific applications.
  • Potential applications include processing electroencephalogram (EEG) data and other time series.
