Abstract
A method of encoding user data into codevectors of an error correcting code, includes generating a first block of data symbols including user data symbols and dummy data symbols; encoding the first block using an ECC encoder to obtain a codeword comprising the first block of data symbols and a second block of parity symbols; and generating a codevector by selecting a user data portion of the user data symbols from the first block and a parity portion of the parity symbols from the second block. The sum of a number of the user data portion and a number of the parity portion is smaller than the sum of a number of the user data symbols and a number of the parity symbols of the second block.
