“…ECG signals are digitized at sampling rates ranging from 100 to 1000 Hz with resolution of 8-12 bits per sample [1,2]. Recent research emphasizes the need of robust ECG compression algorithms for efficient transmission and real-time applications [2]. Therefore, considerable attempt has been made towards finding the optimized ECG compression algorithms with respect to limited and well established channel capacity while preserving all diagnostic information in the original signal.…”
