A new coding scheme called radix conversion variable length code (RCVLC) is proposed to represent non-negative integers from small values to very large values. RCVLC obtains lowest code length to represent mid-range and large-range integers than Fibonacci code, Elias codes and other existing schemes. This RCVLC is applied as an entropy coder of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform data compressor to compress Calgary corpus which contains both binary and text files. It is observed from the experimental results that the new RCVLC obtains better compression than the existing coding schemes on an average.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
