利用哈夫曼编码进行信息通信可以大大提高信道利用率，缩短信息传输时间，降低传输成本。但是，这要求在发送端通过一个编码系统对待传数据预先编码，在接收端将传来的数据进行译码（复原）。对于双工信道（既可以双向传输信息的信道），每端都需要一个完整的编/译码系统。-Huffman coding using information and communication can greatly improve the channel utilization, reduce the information transmission time, and lower transmission costs. However, this requires the sending end through a deal with transfer of data pre-coding system coding, the receiver will decode the data transmitted (recovery). For the duplex channel (two-way transmission of information either channel), each side needs a complete encoding/decoding system.
