Paragraph Number

113

In a certain embodiment, the repetition error correcting code may comprise an intermediate code between and/or in addition to the secondary/inner error correcting code provided by the secondary ECC module 304 and the primary/outer error correcting code provided by the primary ECC module 302. For example, the secondary ECC module 304 may provide a code word by encoding access data or other input data using the secondary/inner error correcting code, and the repetition code module 406 may repeat the code word from the secondary ECC module 304 as a message for the repetition error correcting code. The primary ECC module 302 may encode the repeated messages, taken together, using the primary/outer error correcting code to form at least one ECC code word or chunk.
