ABSTRACT:
A method and a device are disclosed for variable length coding and decoding of an information block of input signals, with the information being concentrated at the beginning of the block and the block being terminated by a continuous succession of zero words. Two code trees are utilized for coding and decoding the block. The first of the code trees is utilized for coding and decoding the first part of the block up to and including the word before the last non-zero and an end of the block character EOB, and the second code tree is specially designed for coding and decoding the last non-zero word. A switching device provides for switching between the two code trees and associated devices after the character EOB and before the last non-zero word.
