Content aware decoding method and system
A method and apparatus for obtaining data from a memory, estimating a probability of data values of the obtained data based on at least one of a source log-likelihood ratio and a channel log-likelihood ratio, wherein each bit in the obtained data has an associated log-likelihood ratio, determining at least one data pattern parameter for the data and performing a decoding process using the at least one data pattern parameters to determine a decoded data set.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining data from a memory, the data needing to be decoded;
comparing the data from the memory to a list of patches; and
augmenting the data from the memory when the comparing the data from the memory to the list of patches indicates a match of the data to a specific patch to produce an augmented data; and
decoding the augmented data.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the data is a sample of bits of a block of data.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the list of patches include a distance metric.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the list of patches include a probability metric.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the list of patches is predetermined.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
checking the decoding of the augmented data.
7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
updating the data in the memory when the decoding of the augmented data is not successful.
8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:
checking a number of iterations performed on updating the data in the memory;
ending the method when the number of iterations performed equals a maximum number of iterations allowed; and
performing another iteration of the comparing the data to the list of patches when the number of iterations performed is less than the maximum number of iterations.
9. A method comprising:
obtaining data of a memory block, wherein the data is a sample of bits of a block of data of a given length, each of the bits having a bit value;
comparing the obtaining of the data to a predetermined data pattern;
estimating at least one bit value for the data based on the comparison;
adjusting the bit values based on the estimation; and
lengthening an amount of obtained with each execution of the method.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein adjusting the bit values includes generating and applying a correction term to the bit values.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the method is executed multiple times with snapshots of different blocks of data of the memory block.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined data pattern is a mathematical linear function.
