Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALGEBRAIC ERASURE DECODING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/043570
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
For correcting a multibit, LDPC coded codeword where one or two multibit symbols within the codeword are known to be erroneous, a method is proposed, where the position of the erroneous multibit symbols is checked for correctability, where the subset of the codeword that is not indicated as erroneous is GF2-multiplied with a corresponding subset of the parity check matrix of the LDPC code resulting in an interim vector, and where the erroneous parts of the codeword are reconstructed such that they, when GF2-multiplied to their associated parts of the parity check matrix, yield the same interim vector.
