US Patent 10367604 Encoding variable length symbols to enable parallel decoding

An approach is provided in which a source system partitions multiple symbol sets into multiple fixed width data chunks. During the partitioning, the source system creates symbol boundary information corresponding to symbols in the symbol sets relative to boundaries of the fixed width data chunks. In turn, the source system combines the fixed width data chunks into a multiplexed bit stream based on the symbol boundary information and provides the multiplexed bit stream to a destination system.
