A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to determine an error correction code (ECC) code length for KV pair data and/or an ECC code rate for the KV pair data, where the ECC code length and the ECC code rate are selected according to a value length and decoding capability of the KV pair data, generate ECC parity based on the selecting, and program the KV pair data and the generated ECC parity to the memory device.

In an illustrative example, a decoder includes a variable node unit (VNU) that includes a variable-to-check lookup table circuit configured to output a variable-to-check message corresponding to a check node. The VNU also includes a hard-decision lookup table circuit configured to output a hard decision value corresponding to a variable node. The decoder also includes a check node unit (CNU) responsive to the variable-to-check message and configured to generate an updated check-to-variable message.

For decoding messages, a decoder exchanges single-bit messages for a data channel between a plurality of M parity nodes and a plurality of N symbol nodes. Each parity node has one or more adjacent symbol nodes with a plurality of edges between the parity node and each adjacent symbol node. An extrinsic decision and an extrinsic parity value are calculated based on a time-varying lookup table. The lookup table stores the locally maximum-likelihood extrinsic decision for a quantized number of data channel states as a function of adjacent extrinsic parity values.

A method includes accepting an input code word, which was produced by encoding data with an Error Correction Code (ECC), for decoding by a hardware-implemented ECC decoder. The input code word is pre-processed to produce a pre-processed code word, such that a first number of bit transitions that occur in the hardware-implemented ECC decoder while decoding the pre-processed code word is smaller than a second number of the bit transitions that would occur in the ECC decoder in decoding the input code word. The pre-processed code word is decoded using the ECC decoder, and the data is recovered from the decoded pre-processed code word.

Provided is a method for decoding a non-binary (NB) low density parity check (LDPC) code at a user equipment (UE) that implements at least one variable nodes that receive a received signal of a wireless channel and deliver an input message to a check node and the check node that checks the input message and outputs an output message. The method includes receiving at least one input messages, generating a temporary vector by using the at least one input messages, searching for an element having a dominant value by checking the temporary vector, generating a configuration set, which is a check target, by using the element having the dominant value, and generating the output message by performing comparison with respect to the generated configuration set.

Systems and methods are provided for decoding data using hard decisions and soft information. In particular, the systems and methods described herein are directed to decoders having variable nodes and check nodes, each with multiple states. The systems and methods include receiving, at a decoder during a first iteration, values for each of a plurality of variable nodes, and determining, during a second iteration, one or more indications for each of a plurality of check nodes based on the one or more values of the variable nodes received during the first iteration. The methods further include updating, at the decoder during the second iteration, the values for each of the variable nodes based on the values of the respective variable node received during the first iteration, and the indications for each of the plurality connected check nodes during the first iteration.

A decoding device is provided for decoding received data which is coded based on low-density parity-check code. The decoding device includes a variable node operation unit, a check node operation unit, and a circuit in the transmission path between the two units. The variable node operation unit generates secondary probability information based on primary probability information and the coded data. The check node operation unit generates the primary probability information based on the secondary probability information. The circuit transmits the primary probability information and the secondary probability information between the variable node operation unit and the check node operation unit. In addition, at least one of the primary probability information and the secondary probability information transmitted via the transmission path is represented by a time signal.

摘要:
Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes offer error correction at rates approaching the link channel capacity and reliable and efficient information transfer over bandwidth or return-channel constrained links with data-corrupting noise present. They also offer performance approaching channel capacity exponentially fast in terms of the code length, linear processing complexity, and parallelism that scales with code length. They also offer challenges relating to decoding complexity and error floors limiting achievable bit-error rates. Accordingly encoders with reduced complexity, reduced power consumption and improved performance are disclosed with various improvements including simplifying communications linking multiple processing nodes by passing messages where pulse widths are modulated with the corresponding message magnitude, delaying a check operation in dependence upon variable node states, running the decoder multiple times with different random number generator seeds for a constant channel value set, and employing a second decoder with a randomizing component when the attempt with the first decoder fails.
