摘要:
Systems and methods for improving the performance of iterative decoders on various channels with memory are disclosed. These systems and methods may reduce the frequency or number of situations in which the iterative decoder cannot produce decoded data that matches the data that was originally sent in a communications or data storage system. The iterative decoder includes a SISO channel detector and an ECC decoder and decodes the coded information according to at least one iterative decoding algorithm in regular decoding mode and/or at least one iterative decoding algorithm in error-recovery mode.

A method of writing data to a storage device that uses a first data block size, from a host system that uses a second data block size, different from the first data block size, includes receiving a request from the host system to write a host data block to the storage device, reading a storage device data block from a first location on the storage device to a buffer, where the storage device data block corresponds to the host data block, modifying the storage device data block based on the host data block, restricting writing of the modified storage device data block into the first location, and storing the modified storage device data block to a second location, different from the restricted first location. After acknowledging success of the storing, the restricting of writing of the modified storage device data block into the first location may be lifted.

A control module includes an encoder module, a detector module, a mapping module, and a difference module. The encoder module receives data, and based on the data, generates a first code word for drives. The drives are associated with a storage system. The detector module detects an addition of a second drive. The encoder module generates a second code word for the second drive. The mapping module: maps physical locations of the data in the drives to logical locations of the first code word; assigns a predetermined value to a logical location corresponding to an unused logical location; and based on the predetermined value, assigns the unused logical location to the second drive. The difference module generates a third code word based on each of the first and second code words. The encoder module, based on the first and third code words, generates a fourth code word for all drives.

An integrated circuit including a first decoder, a second decoder, a sensor, and a controller. The first decoder generates first data by performing a first number of decoding iterations and generates second data after performing all of the first number of decoding iterations. The second decoder performs a second number of decoding iterations and generates soft information based on input samples and/or the second data. Each of the second number of decoding iterations is performed after all of the first number of decoding iterations. The first decoder generates the first data based on the soft information and/or the first data from one of the first number of decoding iterations. The sensor senses a temperature of the integrated circuit. The controller controls, based on the temperature of the integrated circuit, at least one of the first number of decoding iterations or the second number of decoding iterations.

A channel decoder includes a demodulator, a filter, a detector module, and first and second circuits. The demodulator receives an input signal based on data read from a storage medium, and demodulates the input signal to generate a data signal. The filter generates equalized data based on the data signal. The detector module executes a Viterbi algorithm based on the equalized data to generate estimates of data originally stored in the storage medium, and based on the execution of the Viterbi algorithm, generates a first and second sets of depths. The first set of depths includes depths larger than depths in the second set of depths. The first circuit generates a first error signal based on the first set of depths. The second circuit generates a second error signal based on the second set of depths. The filter generates the equalized data based on the first and second error signals.
