1. A method of decoding a series of binary digital signals using a data structure, the series of binary digital signals being previously encoded in accordance with a Huffman code, said method comprising:
searching a plurality of codes in the data structure for a possible match based on, at least in part, length of a subgrouping of binary digital signals of the series of binary digital signals being decoded.
