Abstract

In this paper, we study the performance of different decoding schemes for multilevel flash memories where each page in every block is encoded independently. We focus on multi-level cell flash memory, which is modeled as a two-user multiple-access channel suffering from asymmetric noise. The uniform rate regions and sum rates of treating interference as noise decoding and successive cancelation decoding are investigated for a program/erase cycling model and a data retention model. We examine the effect of different binary labelings of the cell levels, as well as the impact of further quantization of the memory output (i.e., additional read thresholds). Finally, we extend our analysis to the three-level cell flash memory.
