Data reliability at the output of the error-correction code decoder
in a compact-disc system is influenced by the decoding strategy
employed by the decoder, as well as by the statistical distribution of
errors that contaminate the recorded data. Recovered-data
reliability estimates have been computed by use of error statistics
obtained from the measurement of errors that contaminate the actual
data stored on clean write-once and read-only-memory compact
discs. These estimates consist of probabilities that specify the
occurrence of residual errors in the data that appear at the output of
a compact-disc player’s cross-interleaved Reed–Solomon code
(CIRC) decoder. Data reliability estimates that apply to five
specific CIRC decoding strategies are reported.
