Abstract
A method for boost floor mitigation during a decoding operation performed by a decoder is disclosed herein. The method includes: monitoring for a floor error condition while performing the decoding operation; if a floor error condition has been detected, then: clearing a feedback delay memory in the decoder; downscaling main memory values in the decoder; applying a gain in low-rank columns; and continuing to perform the decoding operation.
