  • Promotion and Degradation of Soft Erasure Information Using Crc and Proceding Decoder Information
    Publication number: 20080209477
    Abstract: This invention describes a system and method for assigning four levels of priority to erasures and promoting/degrading erasures by confining the number of locations to which erasures are assigned using decoder information from a preceding RS decoder and a CRC. The preceding decoder produces soft-erasure information based on blocks of 184 bytes, while the CRC can cover blocks of sizes up to 4,080 bytes whereas the invention combines the CRC with information of the preceding decoder erasures such that the combination is assigned in multiples of 184 bytes.
