Abstract

Described is a decoder suitable for use with any communication or storage system. The described decoder has a modular decoder hardware architecture capable of implementing a noise guessing process and due to its dependency only on noise, the decoder design is independent of any encoder, thus making it a universal decoder. Hence, the decoder architecture described herein is agnostic to any coding scheme.
