Abstract

A PASM and TASM encoding method with the steps of storing a block of a data-bit sequence in a memory, calculating parity-check symbols, and outputting an encoded data bit sequence. The PASM encoding method includes calculating a first set of parity-check symbols from the data-bit sequence along a first set of parity lines, and calculating at least a second set of parity-check symbols from the data symbols and parity-check symbols along a second set of parity lines, wherein each parity line of the second set of parity lines has a path traversing through the parity-check symbols. The TASM encoding method includes calculating a first parity-check symbol from data symbols and parity-check symbols along a first parity line having a first slope and calculating at least a second parity-check symbol from data symbols and parity-check symbols along a second parity line having a second slope, wherein the second parity line traverses through the first parity-check symbol.
