According to an embodiment, a memory system includes: a test pattern decoding unit that detects an intermediate decoding word from a plurality of test patterns; a Euclid distance calculating unit that calculates a Euclid distance between the intermediate decoding word and a received word; and a maximum likelihood decoding word selecting unit that maintains a maximum likelihood decoding word candidate. In a case where a Euclid distance of the intermediate decoding word is shorter than a Euclid distance of the maximum likelihood decoding word candidate, the maximum likelihood decoding word selecting unit updates the maximum likelihood decoding word candidate by using the intermediate decoding word and the test pattern decoding unit does not execute decoding of a test pattern having no possibility that the Euclid distance of the intermediate decoding word becomes shorter than the Euclid distance of the maximum likelihood decoding word candidate.

Disclosed is a method for decoding an optical data signal. Said optical data signal is phase and amplitude modulated according to a constellation diagram with at least eight constellation points representing non-binary symbols. Said decoding method comprises the following steps: —carrying out a carrier phase recovery of a received signal ignoring the possible occurrence of phase slips, —decoding said signal after phase recovery, wherein in said decoding, possible cycle slips occurring during phase recovery are modelled as virtual input to an equivalent encoder assumed by the decoding scheme. Further disclosed are a related encoding method as well as a receiver and a transmitter.

A computer implemented method for a cyclic (forward-backward) decoding for a forward error-correction FEC scheme includes decoding a given k−1th codeword in a block code of length N in an optical communication system, forwarding M symbols' enhanced log likelihood ratios LLRs produced by decoding the k−1th codeword, decoding the kth codeword together with forwarded M symbols' enhanced LLRS, and feeding backward, to the initial step i) decoding, corresponding overlapped M symbols' enhanced LLRs for decoding of the k−1th codeword again.

Non-linear distortions, called glitches, occur in radio receivers when automatic gain control (AGC) is employed for regulating the dynamic range of the received signal. It is proposed to determine (S1) the occurrence of a glitch caused by operation of the AGC mechanism, and estimate (S2) a representation of how energy of a signal transient associated with the glitch is transferred by digital filter(s) in the receiver. The radio signal is then detected (S3) at least partly based on the estimated representation. In this way, the adverse effects of the glitch can be mitigated and detection of the desired signal can be significantly improved. This also means that the link performance will be significantly improved.

Methods and apparatus are described for reducing memory storage cells in a turbo decoder by storing only half the state metrics generated during a scan process. States associated with each bit transmission may be divided into couples and only one state from every state couple may be stored. In one example embodiment, only the state metric for a losing state of every state couple is saved, along with a single bit, e.g., 1 or 0, indicating whether the upper state or lower state of the state couple was the winner. The winning state may be reconstituted at a later stage. In this manner, for a code rate 1/3 and constraint length 3 turbo code, instead of storing 8*10=80 bits of state metrics for each systematic bit, only (4*10)+(4*1)=44 bits of scan state metrics data need be stored, a savings of nearly 50% regardless of the transistor technology used.

Embodiments of decoding data stored in solid-state memory arrays are disclosed. In one embodiment, multiple read operations are performed while taking inter-cell interference (ICI) into account. Soft-decision information, such as log-likelihood ratios (LLRs), is determined by using known data and its corresponding multi-read output. Soft-decision information is provided to a detector. Reliability is improved and performance is increased.
摘要:
Rate control adaptable communications. A common trellis is employed at both ends of a communication system (in an encoder and decoder) to code and decode data at different rates. The encoding employs a single encoder whose output bits may be selectively punctured to support multiple modulations (constellations and mappings) according to a rate control sequence. A single decoder is operable to decode each of the various rates at which the data is encoded by the encoder. The rate control sequence may include a number of rate controls arranged in a period that is repeated during encoding and decoding. Either one or both of the encoder and decoder may adaptively select a new rate control sequence based on a variety of operational parameters including operating conditions of the communication system, a change in signal to noise ratio (SNR), etc.
