	%X We suggest a novel method to incorporate longterm
redundancy (LTR) in signal time domain compression
methods. The proposition is based on block-sorting and curve
simplification. The proposition is illustrated on the ECG
signal as a post-processor for the FAN method. Test
applications on the new so-obtained FAN+ method using the
MIT-BIH database show substantial improvement of the
compression ratio-distortion behavior for a higher quality
reconstructed signal.
