Abstract
A fax selective call receiver system (10) featuring compression of a fax message with an optimal one of a plurality of compression code-books (50). At least a portion (44) of a source document (26) is compressed with each of a plurality of code-books (50) and the smallest resulting data file is selected as the optimal compressed file. The compressed data file is transmitted to a selective call receiver (40) together with an index identifying the optimal code-book. The selective call receiver (40) stores each of the plurality of code-books and accesses the particular code-book for decompressing the data file on the basis of the received index. In an alternative embodiment, the fax message is divided into composing segments (SI1, SI2 and SI3) and each segment is compressed with each code-book to determine the optimal code-book for each segment.
