摘要:
An optical information storage medium and a method of recording and/or reproducing information on and/or from the optical information storage medium includes a lead-in area, a user data area, and a lead-out area in which data is recorded. The data that is not modified on storage media complying with the same physical format is recorded in the entire lead-in area or a portion of the lead-in area. A data recording modulation method used in the entire lead-in area or the portion of the lead-in area is different from a data recording modulation method used in a remaining area of the optical information storage medium.

A method of and an apparatus for modulating data to be resistant to channel distortion. A space extending encoder performs a first code transformation to extend a run length of digitized data to a predetermined length and outputs the space-extended data. A multiplexer multiplexes the space-extended data and data transformed by a predetermined second code transformation. A format converter converts the multiplexed data into a predetermined format which is suitable for writing to a recording medium. The apparatus and method enable recorded data to be resistant to channel distortion, enable the data to be recorded with increased recording density, and enable the data written to the recording medium to be reproduced with improved reliability.

A data modulation method resistant to channel distortion and a method of correcting error in data coded by the modulation method. 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 a data bit length before modulation, n is a codeword bit length after modulation, and s is a space length between codewords. Further, the data modulation method provides run lengths expressed as in+1=in+s (n=1, 2, . . . ), where i1=d.

A method of generating and allocating codewords 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 the codewords b1 and b2 have opposite INV values which are parameters indicating whether the number of ‘1s’ contained in a codeword is an odd number or an even number. When the code stream of the preceding codeword “a” and the following codeword b1 is X1, and when the code stream of the preceding codeword “a” and the following codeword b2 is X2, the codewords are allocated such that the INV values of X1 and X2 are maintained to be opposite when the preceding codeword “a” or the following codeword b1 (b2) (b1 or b2) should be replaced by another codeword in compliance with a predetermined boundary condition given between codewords. The codewords are allocated so that a DC suppression capability of the code stream can be maintained.

A method and apparatus for detecting signal quality, and a computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program to execute the method. In the method for detecting the quality of an input signal, an estimated signal is calculated from an input signal by using a predetermined filter coefficient, then the filter coefficient is updated to minimize a difference between the estimated signal and the input signal, and based on the updated filter coefficient, the quality of the input signal is calculated.

A code modulation and demodulation method includes removing a DC component of a code stream to be modulated when source data is recorded on an optical information storage medium and controlling a suppression of the DC component contained in the code stream when the source data is converted into a codeword to be recorded on an optical information storage medium. The method includes determining a control timing to suppress the DC component of the code stream to which the source data are converted, performing a code conversion at each control time for the DC component so that the code stream branches into a pair of branch code streams one of which extends in a direction where a running digital sum (RDS) of the code stream increases, and another one of which extends in the direction where the RDS of the code stream decreases, and selecting the path of the code stream that has a most bounded path around RDS ‘0’ from the paths of the branch code streams each control time. By performing a regular DC suppression control when the source data is converted, and by selecting one of the branch code streams when the DC suppression control is performed, more DC components in the code stream can be effectively removed.
