Paragraph Number

109

In one embodiment, the repetition code module 406 may determine whether the ECC chunk is correctable using the repetition error correcting code based on the number of identical instances of the repeated message. In another embodiment, the repeated message may be a code word for the secondary/inner error correcting code, and the repetition code module 406 may determine whether the ECC chunk is correctable using the repetition error correcting code based on how many repeated messages are correctable using the secondary/inner error correcting code. In various embodiments, the repetition code module 406 may determine that the ECC chunk is correctable using the repetition error correcting code based on a number of repeated messages satisfying a threshold number for messages having a certain property such as being identical, being decodable with a secondary/inner error correcting code, or the like.
