V.42bis

V.42bis

(communications, standard)
An extension of the ITU-T V.42 standard modem protocol to included compression using a Lempel-Ziv related technique, which detects frequently occurring character strings and replaces them with tokens. This is similar to the Unix compress utility. Typical compression for text is 50% or better; with nearly 20% gain from synchronous conversion this gives reduces transmission time by almost 60%.

V.42bis

An ITU standard (1989) for analog modem data compression. It uses the BTLZ technique to achieve up to a 4:1 ratio. V.42bis implies the V.42 error checking protocol.

The company will further enhance its V.92 software suite with the addition of V.44 data compression capability, which typically improves data compression by some 20% to 60% over the V.42bis compression scheme employed in V.90--and as much as 200% for certain highly-compressible files.
