  • Reducing the number of bits present in transmit data.


Methods of Data compression:

Lossless and Lossy methods:


Advantages:
  • Storage space can be reduced.
  • Reduces the bandwidth of the transmitted file.
  • Increase the speed of transmitted file.
  • Downloading speed is high.
  • Less time consuming.
Disadvantages:
  • Added complication.
  • Effect of error in transmission.
  • Need to decompress all previous data.
