Differential entropy based data compression for waveforms

TLDR
In this paper, a truncated entropy encoding map is generated and the values within the map are selected to be encoded or unencoded to provide an overall compression of the data, which is then used by an encoder to further sub-select the values.
Abstract
Waveforms are digitally sampled and compressed for storage in memory. The compression of the data includes generating a truncated entropy encoding map and using the values within the map to obtain good compression. An encoder further sub-selects values to be encoded and values to remain unencoded to provide an overall compression of the data.
