Abstract
A method of encoding data values comprises mapping each of a plurality of input values to one of a pre-defined set of codes based on a probability distribution of the input values. In various examples an input value may be mapped to a code having the same bit-length as the input value and in other examples, the code may be longer than the input value. In various examples, the input values may be grouped into data words and may additionally comprise one or more padding bits.
