The main goal of the data compression is to minimize the amount of user data such that the redundancy of the error correction coding can be increased and the reliability of the error correction can be improved. A compression algorithm is proposed that combines a modified move-to-front algorithm with Huffman coding. The proposed data compression algorithm has low complexity, but provides a compression gain comparable to the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FreudenbergerBeckRajab, author = {Freudenberger, J{\"u}rgen and Beck, Alexander and Rajab, Mohammed}, title = {A data compression scheme for reliable data storage in non-volatile memories}, series = {IEEE 5th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin, (ICCE-Berlin), 6-9 Sept. 2015}, isbn = {978-1-4799-8748-1}, doi = {10.1109/ICCE-Berlin.2015.7391216}, pages = {139 -- 142}, abstract = {This contribution presents a data compression scheme for applications in non-volatile flash memories. The objective of the data compression algorithm is to reduce the amount of user data such that the redundancy of the error correction coding can be increased in order to improve the reliability of the data storage system. The data compression is performed on block level considering data blocks of 1 kilobyte. We present an encoder architecture that has low memory requirements and provides a fast data encoding.}, language = {en} }
