Popis: Nowadays, the volume of information that is being processed is increasing exponentially. And hence, the significance of data compression algorithms is also increasing. Data compression algorithms aim at reducing the size of data at the cost of increased computational efforts. In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of adaptive Huffman encoding technique for improving the efficiency of text file compression. In the proposed encoding technique, we devise a mechanism for compressing the text files word by word rather than the existing byte by byte compression technique. The proposed method is implemented and the results showed better performance in terms of compression ratio as well as execution time.
