How we can do real-time, hardware based compression to eliminate dead-time from the data ?
(for example in logic analyzers use this method to reduce volume of memory for storage of data).
 

just simplest - transmit difference between n and n+1 sampe of data to be compressed and implement in fpga .
 

How to compress a block of data,for example we get 128Kbyte and we want to compress it.
 

just seaching for "hardware based compression"
found - "The Maestro AFE has incorporated custom hardware-based compression engine which utilizes gzip and deflate"

BTW , cisco has a compression board realised on Xilinx fpga to reduce wan load.

Having bulk of data to compress will facilitate you a compression procedure as building of huffman trees
(http://www.compressconsult.com/huffman/)
could be done while collecting data into blocks.

or some early days of mdoem communication algorithms - mnp5 http://www.ee.unb.ca/tervo/ee4253/mnp5.html

hope my amateur view helped you a bit .
