Apparatus and methods store error recovery data in different dimensions of a memory array. For example, in one dimension, block error correction codes (ECC) are used, and in another dimension, supplemental error correction codes, such as convolutional codes, are used. By using separate dimensions, the likelihood that a defect affects both error recovery techniques is lessened, thereby increasing the probability that error recovery can be performed successfully. In one example, block error correction codes are used for data stored along rows, and this data is stored in one level of multiple-level cells of the array. Supplemental error correction codes are used for data stored along columns, such as along the cells of a string, and the supplemental error correction codes are stored in a different level than the error correction codes.

It is possible to accurately detect a physical block which has caused a fixture defect in a flash memory so as to limit the use of the physical block. By recording a history of generation of a physical block error and a history of physical erasing in an ECC error record, it is judged whether the error which has occurred is accidental or caused by a fixture defect. When no error is caused in the data written by physical erasing after a first read error occurrence, the first error is accidental and if another error is caused, the error is judged to be caused by a fixture defect. By using such an ECC error record, it is possible to accurately judge whether the error is accidental or caused by a fixture defect. By eliminating use of the physical block judged to have a fixture defect, it is possible to reduce read errors.

A system and method for efficiently correcting block errors in packet-based digital communications are provided whereby the ratio of redundant symbols / message symbols over the length of a data packet decreases in order to more efficiently use available bandwidth. The reduction of this ratio, and subsequently the change in a corresponding framing schedule, may be determined through negotiations between the transmitting device and the receiving devices. Each receiving device calculates a redundancy requirement based on signal-to-noise ratio samples. This requirement is returned to the transmitting device in the form of a schedule request. The transmitting device determines if a new framing schedule is needed based on the schedule request, and communicates this new framing schedule to the receiving device. Once the receiving device acknowledges receipt of the new schedule, the transmitting device switches to the new framing schedule for future data packet transmissions.

One of the first and second coding schemes is selected as the coding scheme.

Search engine devices include a content addressable memory (CAM) core having a plurality of CAM array blocks therein and a control circuit that is electrically coupled to the CAM core. The control circuit is configured to support internal error detection and correction operations using modified Hamming code words. These operations are performed without significant impact on the compare bandwidth of the search engine device, even when operations to read entries from the CAM core are performed as foreground operations that may block concurrent search operations. The control circuit may perform the error detection and correction operations by issuing multiple read instructions. These instructions include a first instruction (e.g., error check instruction) to read at least a first entry into the CAM core for the purpose of error detection and then, in response to detecting the first entry as erroneous, issuing a second instruction to read the first entry from the CAM core. The entry is then corrected and written back into the CAM core.

A method decodes a soft-input cost function for an [N,k]q linear block error- correcting code that has a fast sparse transform factor graph (FSTFG) representation, such as Reed-Solomon codes. First, the code is selected and its FSTFG representation is constructed. The representation is simplified and is made redundant if the improved performance is more important than the increased decoding complexity. An encoding method consistent with the representation is selected. A set of message-update and belief-update rules are selected. The messages are initialized according to a soft-input cost function. An iterative decoding cycle is then begun, in which the first step consists of updating the messages according to the pre-selected message-update rules. In the second step of the decoding cycle, a trial code word is determined from the messages, the pre- selected message-update rules, and the encoding method. In the third step of the decoding cycle, the tentative output code word of the decoding method is replaced with the trial code word if the trial code word has lower cost. Finally, the decoding cycle terminates if a termination condition is true, and outputs the tentative code word, and otherwise repeats the decoding cycle. The decoding method can be combined or concatenated with other decoding methods for FSTFG codes.

Filtering can be performed by selecting first or second filters (e.g., an adaptive weight sum and an average sum) according to a difference value between the restored pixel / block and an average value of adjacent pixels / blocks, to refine the restored pixel / block.
