758 results about "Low-density parity-check code" patented technology

In information theory, a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is a linear error correcting code, a method of transmitting a message over a noisy transmission channel. An LDPC is constructed using a sparse bipartite graph. LDPC codes are capacity-approaching codes, which means that practical constructions exist that allow the noise threshold to be set very close (or even arbitrarily close on the binary erasure channel) to the theoretical maximum (the Shannon limit) for a symmetric memoryless channel. The noise threshold defines an upper bound for the channel noise, up to which the probability of lost information can be made as small as desired. Using iterative belief propagation techniques, LDPC codes can be decoded in time linear to their block length.

Variable-rate low-density parity check codes with constant blocklength

Low density parity check (LDPC) codes (LDPCCs) have an identical code blocklength and different code rates. At least one of the rows of a higher-rate LDPC matrix is obtained by combining a plurality of rows of a lower-rate LDPC matrix with the identical code blocklength as the higher-rate LDPC matrix.

Soft bit data transmission for error correction control in non-volatile memory

Data stored in non-volatile storage is decoded using iterative probabilistic decoding. An error correcting code such as a low density parity check code may be used. In one approach, initial reliability metrics, such as logarithmic likelihood ratios, are used in decoding sensed states of a set of non-volatile storage element. The decoding attempts to converge by adjusting the reliability metrics for bits in code words which represent the sensed state. Soft data bits are read from the memory if the decoding fails to converge. Initial reliability metric values are provided after receiving the hard read results and at each phase of the soft bit operation(s). In one embodiment, a second soft bit is read from the memory using multiple subsets of soft bit compare levels. While reading at the second subset of compare levels, decoding can be performed based on the first subset data.

Decoder having early decoding termination detection

Embodiments of decoders having early decoding termination detection are disclosed. The decoders can provide for flexible and scalable decoding and early termination detection, particularly when quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check code (QC-LDPC) decoding is used. In one embodiment, a controller iteratively decodes a data unit using a coding matrix comprising a plurality of layers. The controller terminates decoding the data unit in response to determining that the decoded data units from more than one layer decoding operation satisfy a parity check equation and that the decoded data units from more than one layer decoding operation are the same. Advantageously, the termination of decoding of the data unit can reduce a number of iterations performed to decode the data unit.

A set of available code word lengths and code rates are to be supported by the transceiver. These available code word lengths and code rates are implemented as a subset of starting code word lengths, which are length-reduced by shortening and puncturing selected bit positions in the starting code word length to attain the desired one of the available code word lengths and code rates. The bit positions to be shortened and punctured are selected in a manner that avoids interference between the shortened and punctured bit positions, and that attains excellent code performance.

Method for decoding data in non-volatile storage using reliability metrics based on multiple reads

Data stored in non-volatile storage is decoded using iterative probabilistic decoding and multiple read operations to achieve greater reliability. An error correcting code such as a low density parity check code may be used. In one approach, initial reliability metrics, such as logarithmic likelihood ratios, are used in decoding read data of a set of non-volatile storage element. The decoding attempts to converge by adjusting the reliability metrics for bits in code words which represent the sensed state. If convergence does not occur, e.g., within a set time period, the state of the non-volatile storage element is sensed again, current values of the reliability metrics in the decoder are adjusted, and the decoding again attempts to converge. In another approach, the initial reliability metrics are based on multiple reads. Tables which store the reliability metrics and adjustments based on the sensed states can be prepared before decoding occurs.
