Abstract

A method that includes writing a plurality of codewords to a plurality of memory blocks of a memory device, where each of the plurality of codewords has a physical codeword index corresponding to a respective memory block in which each codeword is written, and assigning a virtual codeword index to each of the plurality of codewords to provide a plurality of virtual codeword indices, where assigning the virtual codeword index to each of the plurality of codewords is based, at least in part, on a location in a virtual block among a plurality of virtual blocks of memory cells corresponding to the physical codeword index of each codeword among the plurality of codewords.
