Efficient modification of LZSS compression algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents a new method of lossless data compression called LZPP, being an advanced modification of the well-known algorithm LZSS [1]. It introduces improvements of the LZ family algorithms [2, 3], such as the use of a special coding of two and three byte matches, use of an auxiliary entropy coder and new criteria of symbol exclusions. Minimization of the data compression ratio (bpc) has been chosen as the primary goal of the proposed modifications of LZSS algorithm.
