  • Publication number: 20190140665
    Abstract: A polar code encoding and decoding method includes generating a first and second sub-codewords. The sub-codewords correspond to pre-codewords, and the pre-codewords have a shared data aspect. The sub-codewords provide useful error-recovery for data stored in a memory. When data is read from the memory, decoding takes place. The data read operation may include hard decision decoding, soft decision decoding, or hard decision decoding followed by soft decision decoding. In the method, the shared data aspect is used to decode a first sub-codeword for which decoding was not initially successful. An apparatus is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190132010
    Abstract: A method of operating a decoder, which has variable nodes and check nodes, includes receiving variable-to-check (V2C) messages from the variable nodes using a first check node among the check nodes. The number of messages having a specific magnitude among the V2C messages is counted. The magnitude of a check-to-variable (C2V) message to be transmitted to a first variable node, among the variable nodes, is determined based on the count value and the magnitude of a V2C message of the first variable node.

  • Patent number: 9778979
    Abstract: An operating method of an error correction decoder includes receiving data, setting initial log-likelihood values of variable nodes, and decoding the received data by updating a log-likelihood value of a selected variable node by use of a minimum value and a minimum candidate value associated with the selected variable node. The minimum value indicates a minimum value of absolute values of log-likelihood values of first variable nodes sharing a check node with the selected variable node and including the selected variable node. The minimum candidate value indicates one from among absolute values of log-likelihood values of second variable nodes that has the smallest value greater than the minimum value. The second variable nodes are selected later than one from among the first variable nodes corresponding to the minimum value.
