Abstract

The invention relates to measures to improve an arithmetic decoder. The method of arithmetically decoding an arithmetically encoded information signal into an information signal comprising a serial sequence of n-bit symbols is adapted to decode two subsequent symbols of the information signal in one decoding cycle if the first symbol to be decoded has the most probable symbol.
