Adaptive data compression for VLF communication system

A proposed data compression method for text messages transmitted through the US Navy's fixed submarine broadcast system (FSBS). (a VLF/LF communication system) is discussed. The current and proposed FSBS), (a VLF/LF communication system) is discussed. The current and proposed FSBS systems, data compression methods in general, compression results on the FSBS, determination of a figure of merit for error analysis forward error correction (FEC) code requirements, preamble requirements, and system analysis results are described. After determining the overhead requirements, it is concluded that the arithmetic coding adaptive data compression technique can provide a substantial increase in throughput for the FSBS.<
