    Abstract: A communication channel structure and a decoding method supported by such a communication channel structure are disclosed. Such a communication channel includes a digital filter configured for filtering an input signal and two quantizer configured for quantizing the filtered signal. A first quantizer is utilized to quantize the filtered signal to produce a first quantized sample having a first precision and a second quantizer is utilized to quantize the filtered signal to produce a second quantized sample having a second precision, wherein the second precision is different from the first precision. The communication channel also includes an iterative decoder configured for utilizing the first quantized sample for a first global iteration of a decoding process and utilizing the second quantized sample for at least one subsequent global iteration of the decoding process.

    Abstract: A data storage system identifies analog-to-digital conversion samples with amplitude below a certain threshold. Remaining samples are grouped according to phase into one or more quadrants. A multi-coordinate with overlapping quadrants is used to further differentiate sample points. The system then computes an average phase for zero phase start estimation.

    Abstract: A storage system and method for interleaving a plurality of logical sectors in the storage system is disclosed. The method includes: dividing each logical sector into a predetermined number of slices; sequentially indexing the logical sectors, wherein each logical sector is identified by a logical sector index; sequentially indexing the predetermined number of slices in each logical sector, wherein each slice of the predetermined number of slices is identified by a slice index within each logical sector; and interleaving the logical sectors according to a slice interleaving process. The interleaving step further includes: a) identifying a first indexed slice of a first indexed logical sector as an initial slice; and b) identifying a subsequent slice by advancing the slice index to a subsequent index in the slice index sequence and advancing the logical sector index to a subsequent index in the logical sector index sequence.
