  2. Variable-length code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_code

    A code is uniquely decodable if its extension is § non-singular.Whether a given code is uniquely decodable can be decided with the Sardinas–Patterson algorithm.. The mapping = {,,} is uniquely decodable (this can be demonstrated by looking at the follow-set after each target bit string in the map, because each bitstring is terminated as soon as we see a 0 bit which cannot follow any ...

  3. Kraft–McMillan inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft–McMillan_inequality

    Let each source symbol from the alphabet = {,, …,} be encoded into a uniquely decodable code over an alphabet of size with codeword lengths ,, …,. Then = Conversely, for a given set of natural numbers ,, …, satisfying the above inequality, there exists a uniquely decodable code over an alphabet of size with those codeword lengths.

  4. Sardinas–Patterson algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinas–Patterson_algorithm

    This code, which is based on an example by Berstel, [3] is an example of a code which is not uniquely decodable, since the string 011101110011. can be interpreted as the sequence of codewords 01110 – 1110 – 011, but also as the sequence of codewords 011 – 1 – 011 – 10011.

  5. Prefix code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_code

    For example, a code with code {9, 55} has the prefix property; a code consisting of {9, 5, 59, 55} does not, because "5" is a prefix of "59" and also of "55". A prefix code is a uniquely decodable code: given a complete and accurate sequence, a receiver can identify each word without requiring a special marker between words. However, there are ...

  6. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

  7. Reed–Muller code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed–Muller_code

    The Reed–Muller RM(r, m) code of order r and length N = 2 m is the code generated by v 0 and the wedge products of up to r of the v i, 1 ≤ i ≤ m (where by convention a wedge product of fewer than one vector is the identity for the operation).

  8. Serial concatenated convolutional codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_concatenated...

    The natural code rate of the configuration shown is 1/4, however, the inner and/or outer codes may be punctured to achieve higher code rates as needed. For example, an overall code rate of 1/2 may be achieved by puncturing the outer convolutional code to rate 3/4 and the inner convolutional code to rate 2/3. A recursive inner convolutional code ...

  9. Unary coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unary_coding

    Unary coding, [nb 1] or the unary numeral system and also sometimes called thermometer code, is an entropy encoding that represents a natural number, n, with a code of length n + 1 ( or n), usually n ones followed by a zero (if natural number is understood as non-negative integer) or with n − 1 ones followed by a zero (if natural number is understood as strictly positive integer).
