| Description of CZ-Array Algorithm |
| / This encoding algorithm uses the following procedures: |
| input_Encoder( stream, length ) : Data inputting from one of the active streams; |
| output_Encoder( ) : Data outputting as a block into the united array stream. |
| / |
| function encodeBAB( Stream[ 0..A-1 ] ) { / Stream is the input stream queue (ready for coding) / |
| row = array( 0..n-1 ); / n is the row amount of the data block array (n<=A) / |
| row[ 0..n-1 ] = Stream[ 0..n-1 ]; / initialize the rows / |
| i = 0; count = n; |
| repeat do { |
| while (buffer.length < B ) do { / B is the size of a block / |
| input_Encoder( row[ i ], B - buffer.length ) ➔ buffer; |
| if ( row[ i ] is empty ) do { / current stream ends / |
| if ( count < A ) do { row[ i ] = Stream[ count ]; count = count +1; } / switch to a new stream / |
| else if ( n > 0 ) do { row[ i ] = row[ n-1 ]; n = n-1; } / delete a row / |
| else do { buffer ➔ output_Encoder( ); return; } / this algorithm ends / |
| } |
| } |
| buffer ➔ output_Encoder( ); / split and output a block / |
| i = (i+1) mod n; / i = 0, 1, 2, … , n-1, 0, 1, 2, … , n-1, 0, 1, 2, … / |
