LOW LATENCY DECODER FOR ERROR CORRECTING CODES

Abstract:

A method for error correction comprises receiving data at a first device, and decoding, by decoder circuitry of the first device, the data. Decoding the data comprises determining a first error location within the data, and determining a first error magnitude within the data in parallel with determining the first error location. Decoding the data further comprises performing error correction to generate the decoded data based on the first error location and the first error magnitude. The method further comprises transmitting the decoded data to a second device.
