Abstract
A method includes determining that a received data stream includes metadata and content, applying error control coding to the received metadata, disabling error control coding for the received content, and storing the metadata, the error control coding, and the content in a memory device.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- determining that a received data stream includes metadata and content;
- applying error control coding to the received metadata;
- disabling error control coding for the received content;
- and storing the metadata, the error control coding, and the content in a memory device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- identifying metadata and content in data read from a memory device;
- applying error correction to the metadata to form error-corrected metadata;
- bypassing the error correction when content is read;
- and merging the error-corrected metadata with the content.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a non-transitory processor for separating an incoming data stream into metadata and content;
- and
- an error control coding module for applying error control coding to the metadata, wherein the content bypasses the error control coding module.
A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when accessed result in a computer performing:
- determining that a received data stream includes metadata and content;
- applying error control coding to the received metadata;
- disabling error control coding for the received content;
- and storing the metadata, the error control coding, and the content in a memory device.
