Adaptive Huffman Coding<br />
} Problem<br />
- previous algorithm requires statistical knowledge (the probability<br />
distribution), often not available (e.g. live audio, video)<br />
- even when statistical knowledge is available, it could be too much<br />
overhead to send it<br />
} Solution<br />
- use of adaptive algorithms<br />
- here: Adaptive Huffman Coding<br />
- keeps up estimating the required probability distribution from<br />
previously encoded/decoded symbols by an update procedure<br />
