Disclosed herein are systems and methods that can avoid fruitless decoding iterations by terminating fruitless decoding iterations at an early stage. A method comprises: iteratively decoding a codeword by a decoder until a number of iterations at which a syndrome weight of the codeword exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method may further comprise: comparing the syndrome weight of the codeword with a decoder syndrome weight threshold for the decoder; in response to that the syndrome weight of the codeword is greater than or no less than the decoder syndrome weight threshold, terminating decoding of the codeword by the decoder.

Systems and methods for decoding codewords

Systems and methods are provided for performing error recovery using LLRs generated from multi-read operations. A method may comprise selecting a set of decoding factors for a multi-read operation to read a non-volatile storage device multiple times. The set of decoding factors may include an aggregation mode for aggregating read results of multiple reads. The method may further comprise issuing a command to the non-volatile storage device to read user data according to the set of decoding factors, generating a plurality of Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) values using a mapping engine from a pre-selected set of LLR value magnitudes based on the set of decoding factors, obtaining an aggregated read result in accordance with the aggregation mode and obtaining an LLR value from the plurality of LLR values using the aggregated read result as an index.

Error recovery using adaptive LLR lookup table

Systems and methods are provided for decoding data read from non-volatile storage devices. A method that may include decoding a first codeword read from a storage location of a non-volatile storage device using a first decoder without soft information, determining that the first decoder has failed to decode the first codeword, decoding the first codeword using a second decoder without soft information, determining that the second decoder has succeeded in decoding the first codeword, generating soft information associated with the storage location using decoding information generated by the second decoder and decoding a subsequent codeword from the storage location using the soft information associated with the storage location. The second decoder may be more powerful than the first decoder.

Systems and methods are provided for performing error recovery using LLRs generated from multi-read operations. A method may comprise selecting a set of decoding factors for a multi-read operation to read a non-volatile storage device multiple times. The set of decoding factors may include a total number of reads, an aggregation mode for aggregating read results of multiple reads, and whether the read results include soft data. The method may further comprise issuing a command to the non-volatile storage device to read user data according to the set of decoding factors, generating a plurality of Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) values using a mapping engine from a pre-selected set of LLR value magnitudes based on the set of decoding factors, obtaining an aggregated read result in accordance with the aggregation mode and obtaining an LLR value from the plurality of LLR values using the aggregated read result as an index.
