Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a transmitter, configured to be communicatively coupled to a receiver of a peer apparatus via a bi-directional link; a receiver, configured to be communicatively coupled to a transmitter of the peer apparatus via the bi-directional, a compressor implemented in the transmitter, configured to generate first compressed data from first original data to be transmitted over the bi-directional to the receiver of the peer apparatus using a dictionary-based compression/decompression scheme under which the first original data are processed as blocks of multiple data values that are encoded in parallel to generate compressed blocks comprising a fixed format portion and a variable format portion; and a decompressor implemented in the receiver, configured to decompress second compressed data received from the transmitter of the peer apparatus using the dictionary-based compression/decompression scheme to extract second original data by decompressing the compressed data in parallel, wherein the second compressed data was generated using a dictionary-based compression/decompression scheme under which the second original data are processed as blocks of multiple data values that are encoded in parallel to generate compressed blocks comprising a fixed format portion and a variable format portion.
