Abstract

The effects of precoding on the detection of erasures based on violations of run-length-limited (RLL) constraints for low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded magnetic recording channels are investigated and an improved erasure detection algorithm is proposed. Its performance on an ME²PR4 channel is evaluated using computer simulations.
