Method for coding data in a data compression system, compression/decompression method and decompression system for decompressing compressed data

摘要

A method and a device for reducing the required size of a buffer between two decoding systems arranged like a cascade are described. The invention exhibits a method and a device for coding data into multiple blocks of data. The invention also contains a method and a device for coding multiple blocks of data into multiple symbols. This coding includes a method and a device for restricting the multiple symbols to a predetermined number of symbols. The buffer following the decoding stage is limited by restricting the coded symbols, resulting in a reduction in the size of the buffer memory for buffering decompressed data which have been output from the decoding stage.
