How to implement my own sparse matrix functionality in matlab

I am supposed to implement my own sparse matrix functionality for a matlab script. And I am a little uncertain how to proceed with this. I guess the main purpose of having sparse matrices is to use less memory. So storing the matrix coordinates and nonzero values in for example 3 vectors, one for row number, one for column number and one for the value, would possibly use more memory in some cases. So what would be a good way to store those values? Is there some effective way of storing tuples for the coordinates like matlabs built in sparse functionality does?

In the Tips section of thesparsedocumentation there's a link to a paper called "Sparse Matrices In MATLAB: Design and Implementation" that might be helpful.
