20090132758RANK MODULATION FOR FLASH MEMORIES - We investigate a novel storage technology, Rank Modulation, for flash memories. In this scheme, a set of n cells stores information in the permutation induced by the different charge levels of the individual cells. The resulting scheme eliminates the need for discrete cell levels, and overshoot errors when programming cells (a serious problem that reduces the writing speed), as well as mitigate the problem of asymmetric errors. We present schemes for Gray codes, rewriting and joint coding in the rank modulation paradigm.05-21-2009
20090132895ERROR CORRECTING CODES FOR RANK MODULATION - We investigate error-correcting codes for a novel storage technology, which we call the rank-modulation scheme. In this scheme, a set of n cells stores information in the permutation induced by the different levels of the individual cells. The resulting scheme eliminates the need for discrete cell levels, and overshoot errors when programming cells (a serious problem that reduces the writing speed), as well as mitigates the problem of asymmetric errors. In this discussion, the properties of error correction in rank modulation codes are studied. We show that the adjacency graph of permutations is a subgraph of a multi-dimensional array of a special size, a property that enables code designs based on Lee-metric codes and L05-21-2009
20120096234INFORMATION REPRESENTATION AND CODING FOR NONVOLATILE MEMORIES - A memory device having a plurality of cells, each of which stores a value, where the values of the cells are mapped to discrete levels and the discrete levels represent data, is programmed by determining a maximum number of cell levels in the memory device, and determining the set of values that are associated with each of the cell levels. The maximum number of cell levels for the memory device is determined by an adaptive programming system connected to the memory device, based on a plurality of cell values attained by at least one cell of the memory device, in response to voltage applied by the adaptive programming system to the cells of the memory device. The adaptive programming system associates, for each of the cell levels, a different set of cell values of the plurality of cell values attained by the cells to which voltage is applied. This technique increases the number of cell levels that can be configured in a memory device as compared with conventional techniques, and increases the number of data values that can be programmed into the cells of a memory device.04-19-2012
