Higher Bandwidth X Higher Bandwidth X John Danskin . Abstract Network bandwidth has always been a key issue for multimedia protocols.
Compression provides potential relief for users of slow networks by increasin effective bandwidth.
HBX introduces a new technique, based on arighmetic coding and statistical modeling, for compressing structured data. HBX's coding techniques are generally applicable to the graphics and imaging subset of multimedia protocols. Future work will determine whether HBX's coding techniques can be applied to audio and video streams as well.
