    摘要: An FEC codeword comprises channel information indicating the reliability of the information contained by the FEC codeword. The channel information can be used to generate an initial error channel estimate. Based on the initial error channel estimate, an FEC decoder can decode the FEC codeword to increase the reliability of the information contained by the FEC codeword. According to the present disclosure, a method and system of decoding comprises: comparing a current codeword to a previous codeword in order to identify bits corrected between the previous and current codewords; revising an error channel estimate based on the identified corrected bits, the revised estimate representing a change in the error channel over time; and decoding the codeword based on the revised error channel estimate.

    摘要: A method for measuring a signal-to-noise ratio when decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes is provided. The method includes receiving from an input of a demodulator an input code word with “strong” or “weak” solutions, decoding the input code word in a LDPC decoder using a predetermined dependence of a mean number of iterations on the signal-to-noise ratio, recording a number of iterations performed during the decoding of the input code word, averaging derived values of the number of iterations for a specified time interval, estimating a signal-to-noise ratio based on averaged derived values of the number of iterations and based on the predetermined dependence of the mean number of iterations on the signal-to-noise ratio, and generating an output decoded code word.

    摘要: A method for system for dynamic channel Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) quantization for a Solid State Drive (SSD) controller is a targeted approach to scaling which results in a scaled, quantized set of LLRs whose relative magnitude remains undisturbed from an original magnitude. The method reads a set of voltages from each channel of the SSD. The set of reads is configured in location and number for performance. Once a set is returned, the method determines an LLR for each of the voltages read resulting in a raw set of LLRs. Targeted scaling results in a scaled set of LLRs between an upper limit and a lower limit determined for reading by a decoder. Once scaled, the LLRs are rounded and quantized for use by the decoder to produce an Error Correction Code (ECC).

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory storage controller is provided for delivering log likelihood ratios (LLRs) to a low-density parity check (LDPC) decoder for use in the decoding of an LDPC encoded codeword. The controller includes read circuitry for reading an LDPC encoded codeword stored in a nonvolatile memory storage module using a plurality of soft-decision reference voltages to provide a plurality of soft-decision bits representative of the codeword. The controller further includes a plurality of lifetime specific LLR look-up tables representative of the lifetime threshold voltage distribution of the memory storage module, wherein each of the plurality of lifetime specific LLR look-up tables comprises a plurality of LLRs representative of a specific point in the lifetime of the memory storage module for each of the plurality of soft-decision bits. The controller provides the LLRs from the appropriate LLR look-up table to an LDPC decoder for the subsequent decoding of the codeword.
