    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: An error correction coding apparatus includes a parity check matrix generation unit (110) which generates a parity check matrix having a number of elements having a value of 1 in each row thereof, having a predetermined number of elements having a value of 1 in each column thereof, and having the other elements having a value of 0; a parity check matrix adjustment unit (130) which receives the parity check matrix from the parity check matrix generation unit (110), searches the parity check matrix for a cycle forming group of four elements positioned at respective vertexes of a rectangle and having a value of 1, and when there is at least one cycle forming group, replaces the value of 1 of at least one element of the cycle forming group with the value 0 of another element, to output a adjusted parity check matrix without a cycle forming group therein; and an LDPC coding unit (150) which receives the adjusted parity check matrix from the parity check matrix adjustment unit (130) and receives an m-bit message word to perform LDPC coding.

    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 a and a following codeword b form a code stream X, 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 a and b1 is X1, and the code stream of a and b2 is X2, allocating codewords such that the INVs of X1 and X2 are maintained to be opposite when a or b1(b2) should be replaced by another codewords in compliance with a predetermined boundary condition given 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.
