READ RECOVERY INCLUDING LOW-DENSITY PARITY-CHECK DECODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887813 titled 'READ RECOVERY INCLUDING LOW-DENSITY PARITY-CHECK DECODING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for generating a sign bit of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codeword associated with a translation unit (TU) by performing an XOR operation on a RAIN drop corresponding to the TU and a raw read of the TU. The LDPC codeword includes a hard bit and three soft bits that include the sign bit, which can be decoded using the hard bit and the three soft bits. A read recovery operation can be performed on the TU using the decoded LDPC codeword.

  • Sign bit of LDPC codeword generated by XOR operation on RAIN drop and raw read of TU
  • LDPC codeword includes hard bit and three soft bits with sign bit
  • Decoding of LDPC codeword using hard bit and three soft bits
  • Read recovery operation on TU using decoded LDPC codeword

Potential Applications

  • Error correction in data storage systems
  • Communication systems requiring reliable transmission of data

Problems Solved

  • Error detection and correction in data transmission
  • Improving reliability of data storage systems

Benefits

  • Enhanced data integrity
  • Improved error correction capabilities
  • Increased reliability in data transmission and storage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sign bit of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codeword associated with a translation unit (TU) can be generated by performing an XOR operation on a RAIN drop corresponding to the TU and a raw read of the TU. The LDPC codeword can include a hard bit and three soft bits that include the sign bit. The LDPC codeword can be decoded using the hard bit and the three soft bits. A read recovery operation can be performed on the TU using the decoded LDPC codeword.
