An optimized buffer controlled data compression system

Abstract

The digital data compression system considered uses a buffer controlled aperture algorithm which minimizes the mean-squared error between the reconstructed receiver output and transmitter input. The data compression technique selected is based on the zero-order floating aperture prediction rule. It is assumed that the statistics of the input data are initially uniformly distributed, stationary, and first-order Markov. The problem is solved for stationary data. An approach is presented for extending the results to slowly varying uniformly distributed nonstationary Markov data.
