Scheme for Utilizing the Soft Feedback Information in Bit-Patterned Media Recording Systems

초록

This paper presents a scheme that utilizes soft feedback information obtained from a decoder to eliminate detrimental interference in bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) systems. BPMR is a promising technology that can increase the storage area density of magnetic storage systems, but one of the main challenges is to overcome 2-D spatial interference. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with that of a conventional iterative detection scheme, and the results indicate that the proposed model is better by approximately 1 dB at 20% track misregistration. In particular, the performance of the system is quite superior, allowing the design of systems with higher area densities.
