摘要:
Data that are stored in cells of a multi-bit-per cell memory, according to a systematic or non-systematic ECC, are read and corrected (systematic ECC) or recovered (non-systematic ECC) in accordance with estimated probabilities that one or more of the read bits are erroneous. In one method of the present invention, the estimates are a priori. In another method of the present invention, the estimates are based only on aspects of the read bits that include significances or bit pages of the read bits. In a third method of the present invention, the estimates are based only on values of the read bits. Not all the estimates are equal.

摘要:
A representation of a codeword is decoded by applying a first decoder of the codeword to the representation of the codeword. If applying the first decoder fails to decode the representation of the codeword then a second decoder of the codeword is applied to the representation of the codeword. Preferably, applying the first decoder consumes less power and is faster than applying the second decoder. Data are ported by encoding the data as a codeword, exporting the codeword to a corrupting medium, importing a representation of the codeword, and applying a first decoder to the representation of the codeword. If applying the first decoder fails to decode the representation of the codeword then a second decoder of the codeword is applied to the representation of the codeword.
摘要:
Systems and methods to decode data stored in a data storage device are disclosed. Data bits stored in a first group of storage elements are decoded using data in a second group of storage elements together with physical characteristics of the second group of storage elements to aid in the decoding of the first group of storage elements.

A method of storing data includes receiving data including a first group of bits and a second group of bits and initiating a shaping encoding operation on the second group of bits to generate a third group of bits. The third group of bits has more bits than the second group of bits. The shaping encoding operation is configured to produce a non-uniform probability distribution of bit values in the third group of bits. The first group of bits and first error correction coding (ECC) parity bits corresponding to the first group of bits are stored to a first logical page that is within a physical page of a MLC memory and the third group of bits and second ECC parity bits corresponding to the third group of bits are stored to a second logical page that is within the physical page of the MLC memory.

摘要:
An example method is provided that includes receiving a representation of a codeword that includes a plurality of bits, and associating the bits with a respective plurality of one-bit hard-bit values representing the bits and multiple-bit soft-bit values representing measures of reliability of respective hard-bit values. The method includes for each of a plurality of iterations, updating a hard-bit/soft-bit value of one or more bits of a respective subset of the bits as a function of current hard-bit values of the subset's bits, and the current hard-bit and soft-bit values of the respective bit. For two iterations in which the current hard-bit and soft-bit values for each bit of a subset for both iterations is the same, the hard-bit/soft-bit value updated for any bit of the subset during one of the two iterations is the same as that computed for the respective bit during the other of the two iterations.
摘要:
To decode a representation, imported from a channel, of a codeword that encodes K information bits as N>K codeword bits, estimates of the codeword bits are updated by exchanging messages between N bit nodes and N−K check nodes of a graph in a plurality of iterations. In each of one or more of the iterations, some or all values associated with the bit nodes, and/or some or all values associated with check nodes, and/or some or all messages are modified in a manner that depends explicitly on the ordinality of the iteration and is independent of any other iteration. Alternatively, the modifications are according to respective locally heteromorphic rules.

摘要:
While decoding a representation, imported from a channel, of a codeword that encodes K information bits as N>K codeword bits, by updating estimates of the codeword bits in a plurality of iterations, the iterations are interrupted upon satisfaction of an interruption criterion that is either an order-dependent interruption criterion or an interruption criterion that includes an estimate of mutual information of the codeword and a vector that is used in the decoding iterations. Either the iterations are terminated or the iterations are resumed after one or more elements of one or more vectors used in the iterations is/are modified.
