DATA COMPRESSION FOR PRIORITY BASED DATA TRAFFIC, ON AN AGGREGATE TRAFFIC LEVEL, IN A MULTI STREAM COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

An approach for multi-stream data compression comprises receiving packets of a data stream, wherein the packets comprise respective packets of source data streams compressed on an aggregate basis and in a successive order. A one of the packets is decompressed, and a determination is made whether the packet has been received in a proper order of succession compared to the successive order of compression. When it is determined that the packet has been received in the proper order, the packet is stored at a next location in a decompressor cache. When it is determined that the packet has not been received in the proper order, the packet is stored at a location in the decompressor cache, allowing for subsequent storage of one or more further packets in the proper order of succession, wherein the further packets were processed via the compression process before, but were received after, the one packet.

1. A method for multi-stream data compression, comprising:
receiving, by a long-range decompressor device, a plurality of packets of a transmitted data stream, wherein the plurality of packets comprises versions of respective packets of a plurality of source data streams resulting from a compression process applied to the packets of the source data streams, on an aggregate basis and in a successive order of compression, prior to transmission of the plurality of packets; applying a decompression process with respect to a one packet of the plurality of packets, and determining whether the one packet has been received in a proper order of succession as compared to the successive order of compression; when it is determined that the one packet has been received in the proper order of succession, storing the one packet at a respective next location in a decompressor data cache, in a form resulting from the decompression process; and when it is determined that the one packet has not been received in the proper order of succession, storing the one packet at a respective location in the decompressor cache, in the form resulting from the decompression process, allowing for subsequent storage of one or more of the plurality of packets in the proper order of succession, in forms resulting from the decompression process, wherein the one or more of the plurality of packets were processed via the compression process before, but were received after, the one packet.
