Abstract
A probabilistic approach of symbol error estimation is disclosed. The probabilistic approach of symbol error estimation reflects the number of symbol errors more precisely than the number of unsatisfied checks. The more precise quality metric calculated in accordance with the present disclosure allows a codec system to achieve a better overall performance. In addition, many other features that previously depend on the number of unsatisfied checks as the sector quality metric may also benefit by adopting the more precise quality metric.
