Abstract
Devices and/or methods may decode failed data, e.g., utilizing side information related to the failed data to determine how to decode the failed data. The side information may include, e.g., a decoding-success score representing an estimated amount of errors within a failed data portion, a remaining amount of unread portions of a data block including failed data, an amount of requested portions of a data block including failed data, if the failed data is buffered, and a decoding status of any previously-failed data.
