A method in a first wireless device (WD) supporting wireless communication with a second WD is described. A plurality of wireless packets is received from the second WD including at least a first wireless packet. At least another wireless packet of the plurality of wireless packets is one of a retry packet and a repeat packet of the first packet. Each wireless packet of the plurality of wireless packets includes a plurality of bits and a first group of bits. For each received wireless packet, the plurality of bits corresponding to the received wireless packet is de-spread, and the first group of bits is correlated with a predetermined group of bits. The method further includes performing a majority vote based on the correlation of the first group of bits of each received wireless packet and creating a corrected packet based in part on the majority vote.

Methods, systems, and devices for syndrome check functionality to differentiate between error types are described. A host system, a memory system, or some combination of both may include syndrome check circuitry to provide enhanced error diagnostic capabilities for data communicated between the host system and the memory system. The syndrome check circuitry may receive a first signal from the memory system indicating whether the memory system detected and attempted to correct an error in the data and may receive a second signal from the host system indicating whether the host system detected an error in the received data. The syndrome check circuitry may compare the first signal and the second signal using a set of logic gates to differentiate between different combinations of errors detected at one or both of the memory system or the host system.

A method, of decoding error correction code of a memory device with dynamic bit error estimation, can include generating at least one metric corresponding to one or more syndromes associated with a code word, the code word comprising an error correction code of a memory device, decoding the code word by a first decoder integrated with the memory device, in response to a determination that the metric satisfies a threshold associated with the syndromes, the first decoder having a first execution property, and decoding the code word by a second decoder integrated with the memory device, in response to a determination that the metric does not satisfy the threshold associated with the syndromes, the second decoder having a second execution property distinct from the first execution property, or in response to a determination that the metric satisfies the threshold associated with the syndromes, and in response to a determination to perform further decoding.

Provided is an error correction decoding device including an inner code iterative decoding circuit, a parameter generation circuit, and a first control circuit. The first control circuit is configured to: receive, as parameters, a threshold and a maximum iteration count which are generated by the parameter generation circuit; and compare, when an iteration count does not reach the maximum iteration count, a non-zero-value count sequentially output from the inner code iterative decoding circuit and the threshold set for each iteration count, and stop an iterative operation by the inner code iterative decoding circuit when a result of the comparison satisfies a stopping condition set in advance.

Systems and methods are provided for concatenated error-correcting coding. An apparatus may include a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder configured to perform an iterative LDPC decoding process on bits of an LDPC codeword, a Bose—Chaudhuri—Hocquenghem (BCH) decoder coupled to the LDPC decoder and a BCH scheduler coupled to the LDPC decoder and the BCH decoder. The LDPC codeword may be generated by LDPC encoding a Bose—Chaudhuri—Hocquenghem (BCH) codeword and the BCH codeword may be generated by BCH encoding a data unit. The BCH scheduler may be configured to determine whether a triggering condition for the BCH decoder is met after each iteration of the iterative LDPC decoding process and activate the BCH decoder to operate on an intermediate decoding result of the LDPC decoder if the triggering condition for the BCH decoder is met.

A low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder performs check node computations as N different segments of the check nodes which have connections only to a codeword segment of length C/N bits as well as check nodes that have connections across the entire codeword of length C. The decoder can include a controller or other compute hardware to decode the codeword, including to perform computations for separate segments of C/N bits of the codeword. The system can perform computations including adjustment of the decode computations based on an expected error rate for selected segments of the codeword.
