    摘要: Provided are an apparatus and method for generating a soft output of a signal. The method including inputting an input signal that is a discrete signal converted from an analog signal passing through a channel having predetermined characteristics such as a recording medium; setting a point in time, as a first reference point, at which a code of a value of the input signal is inverted, and detecting a predetermined number of inversion sections at the first reference point; setting points in time, as second reference points, when the input signal has a discrete value within the inversion section, and calculating all of error paths of target values at the each time, the target values including the values of the input signal at the second reference points and the values of signals at each time, and the error paths being a set of the target values; calculating accumulated errors for the error paths with the values of input signal within the inversion section and the values of the error paths, and calculating maximum values of the accumulated errors for the error paths at the second reference points; calculating a log likelihood relation (LLR) value using the maximum values at the second reference points; and replacing the values of the input signal within the inversion section of a predetermined range with the LLR values and outputting the LLR values. Accordingly, soft outputs of signals, which pass through a channel having predetermined characteristics, are generated for error paths of only the signals that intersect at a zero point, thereby remarkably reducing calculation time.

    摘要: A data modulation method resistant to channel distortion and a method for correcting error in data coded by the modulation method are provided. The data modulation method uses a run length limited (RLL) modulation code applied to write data to an optical storage medium, the RLL modulation code being expressed as RLL ( d , k, m, n, s ) with s = 2 or greater, where d is minimum run length, k is maximum run length, m is the data bit length before modulation, n is the codeword bit length after modulation, and s is the space length between codewords. The data modulation and correction methods can reduce a redundancy in physical address data written to an optical storage medium with improved detection performance resistant to disturbance.

    摘要: A method for allocating codewords is provided. The method includes allocating one of two selectable codewords b1 and b2 as codeword b when a preceding codeword b and a following codeword c form a code stream Y, in which codewords b1 and b2 have opposite INVs which are parameters indicating whether the number of '1s' contained in a codeword is an odd number or an even number and when the code stream of b1 and c is Y1, and the code stream of b2 and c is Y2, allocating codewords such that the INVs of Y1 and Y2 are maintained to be opposite when the codeword, b1, b2 or c should be replaced by another codeword in compliance with a predetermined boundary condition between codewords. According to the method, by using a short codeword having less bits as a main conversion codeword, high efficiency is achieved in recording density. Also, when codewords which do not satisfy the run length conditions are replaced by other codewords, the codewords are allocated so that the DC suppression capability of the code stream can be maintained, and therefore higher DC suppression capability of the code stream is provided.
