Abstract
We treat scalar data compression in sensor network nodes in streaming mode (compressing data points as they arrive, no pre-compression buffering). Several experimental algorithms based on linear predictive coding (LPC) combined with run length encoding (RLE) are considered. In entropy coding stage we evaluated (a) variable-length coding with dynamic prefixes generated with MTF-transform, (b) adaptive width binary coding, and (c) adaptive Golomb-Rice coding. We provide a comparison of known and experimental compression algorithms on 75 sensor data sources. Compression ratios achieved in the tests are about 1.5/4/1000000 (min/med/max), with compression context size about 10 bytes.
