The entropy coding of a current part of a predetermined entropy slice is based on, not only, the respective probability estimations of the predetermined entropy slice as adapted using the previously coded part of the predetermined entropy slice, but also probability estimations as used in the entropy coding of a spatially neighboring, in entropy slice order preceding entropy slice at a neighboring part thereof. Thereby, the probability estimations used in entropy coding are adapted to the actual symbol statistics more closely, thereby lowering the coding efficiency decrease normally caused by lower-delay concepts. Temporal interrelationships are exploited additionally or alternatively.

A radio frequency (RF) unit, a digital unit, and methods of transmitting and receiving data in a wireless communication system are provided. The digital unit may include: a transceiver configured to receive compressed data from an RF unit, a processor configured to divide a frequency domain and a time domain into a plurality of blocks, set a compression parameter to be applied to each of the plurality of blocks, and expand the received data in units of the blocks based on the set compression parameter, and a memory storing the compression parameter.

An integrated circuit includes a compression accelerator to process a request from software to compress source data into an output file. The compression accelerator includes early-abort circuitry to provide for early abort of compression operations. In particular, the compression accelerator uses a predetermined sample size to compute an estimated size for a portion of the output file. The sample size specifies how much of the source data is to be analyzed before computing the estimated size. The compression accelerator also determines whether the estimated size reflects an acceptable amount of compression, based on a predetermined early-abort threshold. The compression accelerator aborts the request if the estimated size does not reflect the acceptable amount of compression. The compression accelerator may complete the request if the estimated size reflects the acceptable amount of compression. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A method for text compression comprises recognizing a prefix string of one or more text characters preceding a target string of a plurality of text characters to be compressed. The prefix string is provided to a natural language generation (NLG) model configured to output one or more predicted continuations each having an associated rank. If the one or more predicted continuations include a matching predicted continuation relative to the next one or more text characters of the target string, the next one or more text characters are compressed as an NLG-type compressed representation. If no predicted continuations match the next one or more text characters of the target string, a longest matching entry in a compression dictionary is identified. The next one or more text characters of the target string are compressed as a dictionary-type compressed representation that includes the dictionary index value of the longest matching entry.

Techniques and systems are provided for compressing data in a neural network. For example, output data can be obtained from a node of the neural network. Re-arranged output data having a re-arranged scanning pattern can be generated. The re-arranged output data can be generated by re-arranging the output data into the re-arranged scanning pattern. One or more residual values can be determined for the re-arranged output data by applying a prediction mode to the re-arranged output data. The one or more residual values can then be compressed using a coding mode.
