Abstract:
A method of decoding a low density parity check (LDPC) code, includes dividing a parity check matrix of the LDPC code, into a plurality of sub blocks. The method further includes, for each of a plurality of decoding iterations, performing a node operation of each of target sub blocks among the plurality of sub blocks, the target sub blocks corresponding to a present decoding iteration among the plurality of decoding iterations, in a decoding schedule, estimating a reliability of each of the target sub blocks, based on a result of the node operation of each of the target sub blocks, and adjusting the decoding schedule, based on the reliability of each of the target sub blocks.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of operating a memory system. The method includes programming first bit data into multiple memory cells; identifying target memory cells that are in a first state and have threshold voltages equal to or greater than a first voltage from the memory cells programmed with the first bit data; receiving second bit data which is to be programmed into the memory cells; calculating multiple third bit data by performing a first process on the second bit data; and selecting third bit data of the calculated multiple third bit data that changes a largest number of target memory cells from the first state to a second state when the memory cells are programmed with each of the multiple third bit data, respectively. The selected third bit data is programmed into the memory cells.
