SYSTEM, CODING SECTION, ARRANGEMENT, CODING APPARATUS, AND METHOD

摘要

Known systems use two probability signals for coding an input signal into an output signal and for decoding said output signal into the input signal. In a first memory field two probability signals are stored, and in a second memor y field two other probability signals are stored, and in response to a further received symbol processor means adapt the probability signals. Such a system needs a giant memory capacity, which can be reduced by combining probability signals into a first combination signal to be stored in the first memory fie ld and by combining further probability signals into a second combination signa l to be stored in the second memory field, and by converting a third combinati on signal into at least one probability signal just before (de)coding takes pla ce.
