In most situations, arithmetic coding can produce greater overall compression than either Huffman or Shannon–Fano, since it can encode in fractional numbers of bits which more closely approximate the ...

In this paper we have implemented a Shannon-fano algorithm for data compression through VHDL coding. Using VHDL implementation we can easily observe that how many bits we can save or how much data ...

Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...
