Abstract
A telecommunication system and method for communicating communication signals between various stations over a selected carrier medium. An improved encoder and method is provided for compressing a communication signal into a selectively formatted encoded signal to facilitate its transmission over the selected carrier medium. The method is particularly useful for encoding fax and modem data signals which do not exhibit the harmonics of a voice signal. A decoder and method for reconstruction of the encoded signal are also provided.
