Abstract
A method of compressing data can include forming at least one container by grouping calls of data according to at least one data element of each call. The method can include arranging, via the processor, calls of the at least one container into a plurality of segments according to a minimal coordinate set and extracting common coordinates corresponding to a first coordinate type from the plurality of segments. Coordinates of a second coordinate type of each segment of the at least one container can be replaced with a segment start coordinate and first distance information specifying the coordinates of the second coordinate type. The common coordinates of the at least one container can be replaced with a common start coordinate and second distance information.
