摘要:
A data detection and decoding system in which a single parity bit added to the end of each code word by the encoder is used in the channel detector to improve the accuracy with which bit decisions are made in the channel detector. The bit estimates and the reliability estimates are then processed by the decoder to recover the original input bits. By using single parity for this dual purpose in combination with a decoder that follows the channel detector and uses the bit estimates and reliability estimates to recover the original input bits, performance of the data detection and decoding system is greatly improved while also overcoming the disadvantages of known digital recording systems.

Various systems and methods for error reduction in a digital information system are disclosed herein. As one example, a digital storage system is provided that includes a storage medium that with an encoded data set accessible via a buffer. The systems further include a soft output Viterbi algorithm channel detector operable to receive the encoded data set, and to provide a hard and a soft output representing the encoded data set. The hard and the soft output from the soft output Viterbi algorithm channel detector are provided to a single parity row decoder that provides another hard output that is an error reduced representation of the encoded data set. The encoded data set is additionally provided from the buffer to another channel detector via a delay element. The delay element time shifts the encoded data set to create a time shifted encoded data set. The hard output from the single parity row decoder and the time shifted encoded data set are provided to coincident with each other to another channel detector. This other channel detector provides a recovered output that exhibits a reduction in errors compared with the encoded data set.

A data detection and decoding system includes a SOVA channel detector that uses single parity (SOVASP) to improve the accuracy with which the detector estimates bits. Each column or row read back from the read channel constitutes a code word and each code word is encoded to satisfy single parity. Because the SOVASP channel detector detects whether each code word satisfies single parity, it is unnecessary to use both a column decoder and a row decoder in the channel decoder. Either the row decoder or the column decoder can be eliminated depending on whether bits are read back on a column-by-column basis or on a row-by-row basis. This reduction in components reduces hardware complexity and improves system performance. The output of the row or column decoder is received by a second detector that processes the output received from the decoder to recover the original information bits.

In one embodiment, a (hard-drive) read channel has a (DFIR equalization) filter, whose tap coefficients are adaptively updated. A reset controller monitors an (LLR) signal generated downstream of the filter to automatically determine when to reset the filter, e.g., by reloading an initial set of user-specified tap coefficients. For LLR values, the reset controller determines to reset the filter when the reset controller detects that too many recent LLR values have confidence values that are too low. When implemented in a hard-drive read channel, the reset controller can reset the filter one or more times during read operations within a sector of the hard drive.
