This technique cleverly avoids violation of the Kraft inequality and employs an algorithm composed of stages in which the two lowest weight packages are combined and selector bits are prefixed.
This technique cleverly avoids violation of the Kraft inequality and employs an algorithm composed of stages in which the two lowest weight packages are combined and selector bits are prefixed. It utilizes a bottom-up mechanism, unlike the top-down (*) Shannon-Fano technique. It terminates at the point in which a prefix-free state is impossible and it assigns a zero bit codeword to every symbol. For 10 points, name this process that achieves lossless data compression through a minimum-redundancy entropy coding algorithm.
