Abstract
An apparatus and method for error correction based on soft decision bits and multiple hypotheses includes: maintaining a plurality of previous single bit-flip hypotheses, each hypothesis including a respective bit-flip, a respective pre-flip bit confidence, and a respective hash responsive to the respective bit-flip; receiving a bit and a corresponding bit confidence; comparing the received bit confidence with a highest pre-flip bit confidence of the maintained plurality of single bit-flip hypotheses; and if the received bit confidence is less than the highest pre-flip bit confidence, forming a new single bit-flip hypothesis and replacing a prior bit-flip hypothesis having the highest pre-flip bit confidence with the new hypothesis.
