Abstract
Researchers are devising new ways for robust digital content delivery in situations where telecommunication signal strength is very low, especially during natural disasters. In this paper, we present research work targeting two dimensions: (a) We selected the IANA standard for digital content classification, 20 types in 5 categories; applied and compared five different lossless compression schemes (LZW, Huffman coding, PPM, Arithmetic Coding, BWT and LZMA) on these 20 data types; (b) A generic prototype application which encodes (for sending) and decodes (on receiving) the compressed digital content over SMS. Sending digital contents via SMS over satellite communication is achieved by converting digital content into text; apply lossless compression on the text and transmit the compressed text by using SMS. Proposed method does not require Internet Service and also not requires any additional hardware in existing network architecture to transmit digital contents. Results show that overall PPM compression method offers best compression ratio (0.63) among all compression schemes Thus PPM reduces the SMS transmission saving up to 43%, while LZW performs the least with 17.6%.
