Abstract:
1. A method for data compression in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving an uncompressed data segment comprising a plurality of signal samples; selecting a desired compression ratio for the uncompressed data segment, the selecting a desired compression ratio for the uncompressed data segment including receiving a desired compression ratio from a user of the communication system; dividing the uncompressed data segment into a plurality of sub-segments, each of the plurality of sub-segments comprising a subset of the plurality of signal samples; determining, for each of the plurality of sub-segments, signal sample bit-removal information to achieve the desired compression ratio; and removing, from each of the plurality of signal samples of each of the plurality of sub-segments, the plurality of bits identified by the signal sample bit-removal information, to generate a plurality of compressed signal samples.
