Abstract
A rate 7/8 MTR code encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The encoding method includes: generating a rate-7/8 MTR code for inputting 7-bit data and outputting a predetermined 8-bit codeword; checking whether codewords satisfy a predetermined constraint condition by connecting the 8-bit codeword and a subsequent 8-bit codeword; and if the codewords do not violate the constraint condition, not converting the codewords. The decoding method includes: checking whether the codewords satisfy a predetermined MTR constraint condition by connecting a current 8-bit codeword c(k) and a subsequent 8-bit codeword c(k+1); if the codewords violate the constraint condition, converting the codewords, and if the codewords do not violate the constraint condition, not converting the codewords; and decoding each converted 8-bit codeword into 7-bit data using a predetermined MTR code. Data is reliably reproduced with high write density, and large amounts of data are stored in and reproduced from a magnetic recording information storage medium.
