1. An apparatus for facilitating network communication, comprising:
a transmitter able to receive a data stream containing one of scaler data and vector data and configured to generate a compressed stream containing compressed data and an identifier for transmission;
a communication channel coupled to the transmitter and operable to transport the compressed stream; and
a receiver coupled to the communication channel and configured to receive the compressed steam from the communication channel, the receiver operable to restore the data stream from the compressed stream via a decoder retrieved from a decoder database in response to the identifier,
wherein the transmitter is configured to determine a closest matching probability distribution function (PDF) template via a matching process between PDF calculated based on the data stream and stored PDF templates.
