Abstract:In this paper, we proposed a new optimal multi-bit Huffman decoding method that combines the barrel shifter and look-ahead approaches. Specifically, we developed an approach to partition the state diagram corresponding to a Huffman decoder in such a way that the expected decoding throughput rate is maximized for a given K-bit lookahead decoding. A distinct approach taken in this paper is to exploit the probabilistic state transition probability of a Huffman entropy coder to estimate the expected decoding throu… Show more
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.
