Techniques for miscorrection detection for constituent codewords in product codes

摘要

Techniques are described for protecting miscorrection in a codeword. In one example, the techniques include obtaining a first set of data to be encoded using a product code comprising one or more constituent codes, and generating a second set of data by performing a miscorrection avoidance procedure on the first set of data. The miscorrection avoidance procedure decreases a probability of miscorrection at a decoder. The techniques further includes jointly encoding the first and the second set of data using an encoding procedure corresponding to the product code to generate at least one encoded codeword, and storing the encoded codeword in the memory.
