  • Data mask coding
    Patent number: 6611211
    Abstract: A method for encoding a data mask that consists of a given total number of bits and includes a selected group of contiguous bits within the total number, the selected group having a left end and a right end. The method includes dividing the data mask into a plurality of segments, and representing the segments by respective segment codes, each code indicating whether the bits in the respective segment fall entirely outside the selected group, entirely within the selected group, or include the left end or the right end of the group. The segment codes are combined so as to generate a mask code, which can be decoded to reconstruct the data mask.
