Abstract
Techniques for reading data from a storage medium () having a high track density prone to adjacent track interference are disclosed. One or more sensing elements () are used to extract data stored on adjacent tracks. Multiuser detection () is then used to detect/decode a single track that is closely spaced to its neighboring tracks, resolve interference from adjacent tracks, or to simultaneously detect/decode multiple adjacent closely packed tracks.
