Your Suggestion

[ranjeet]

Dear All

I want your suggestion on below implementation so that i can have the most
optimised solution for the below

Lets assume I have the data to encode at the transmitter and decode at the
reciver.

suppose we have high range of data varing from -infity to + infinity

what i decide is that i take the certain range of the above and do the
encoding into the 5 bit.

like the below operation :

00000 -12
00001 -4
00010 0
00011 4
00100 8
00101 12
00110 16
00111 18
01000 20
01001 22
01010 24
01011 26
01100 28
01101 30
01110 32
01111 34
10000 36
10001 38
10010 40
10011 42
10100 44
10101 46
10110 48
10111 50
11000 52
11001 54
11010 56
11011 58
11100 60
11101 62
11110 64
11111 66

the value all below -12 will be taken as 000000
the value all belo -4 will be take as 00001

and so on.........

Now my question is that how to implement this in best fashion????
keeping in all the computation and the memory used into the
system.

My approach that I will enocde the data simple by checking the
values (if it lies with in the range then I will take the above
corresponding Index.)

then I will search the same index (at the decoder end) by making the
look up table in which i will search the corresponding index and
get the data from it.

means if i get the index ( 00101) means 5 then i will
decode this index as the 12.

Now Is this the correct way or what are the issue I have to consider
while facing such problem ( that wheather we have to maintain the
table or just put the values into the memeory and make the search)

Which search algo is the best one while searching the above index values
in the above case. ??

That's question about an algorithm, not one about C. It would be on-
topic e.g. in comp.programming but not here.

Then you're going to have problems using a computer;-)

like the below operation : 00000 -12
00001 -4
00010 0
00011 4
00100 8 .... 11011 58
11100 60
11101 62
11110 64
11111 66 the value all below -12 will be taken as 000000
the value all belo -4 will be take as 00001
Using a look-up table is probably the fastest solution and with that
range of data memory consumption normally shouldn't be an issue.

static unsigned char encode_table[ 79 ] = { 1, 1, ...};

unsigned char encode( long int data ) {
if ( ( data += 13 ) < 0 )
return 0;
else if ( data >= 79 )
return 31;
return encode_table[ data ];
}

static long int decode_table[ 32 ] = { -12, -4,... };

long int decode( unsigned char encoded_data ) {
return decode_table[ encoded_data ];
}

Setting up the look-up tables is left as an exercise to the reader;-)

That sentence doesn't seem to make sense. The table is going to be in
memory and I have no idea what kind of "search" you're talking above.

There are many studies for to search efficiency, to the best of my
understanding : if your dataset really is huge "suppose we have high range
of data varing from -infity to + infinity" then binary search is the only
way to travel, but this does mean you will need a sorted list, sorted by
data at the transmit side and sorted by encoded data at the recieve side. If
your data set is smaller, such as the sample size you have provided then the
overhead of binary searches are not worth the effort. The other issue is
that if your data set is massive then you need to look at the memory usage,
everything is quicker in RAM but you cant necessarily load it all into RAM.

If you have a clear idea of how large your data set is then this will
determin the search required, unless of course you can establish a
relationship between data and encoded data which can be described by an
expression....
