Latency reduced error correction scheme with error indication function for burst error correction codes

摘要

The present discloses provides a decoding method, decoding apparatus and decoder for correcting burst errors. In particular, the decoding method for correcting burst errors comprises: computing an initial syndrome of a received data frame, wherein the data frame is encoded according to cyclic codes for correcting burst errors; determining error correctability of burst error contained in the data frame based on the computed initial syndrome; and processing the burst error in the data frame and outputting the processed data frame based on the determined error correctability. With the decoding method, decoding apparatus, and decoder of the present invention, error correctability of burst errors contained in a data frame can be determined before the data is send out, while having smaller decoding latency through determining the error correctability and error pattern of the burst errors contained in the data frame using initial syndrome of the data frame.
