Multihead Multitrack Detection With Reduced-State Sequence Estimation
2015
In shingled magnetic recording, the multihead multitrack (MHMT) detector can better combat the effect of intertrack interference than the single-head single-track detector. Such a detector, however, has prohibitive implementation complexity. In this paper, we propose to use the reduced-state sequence estimation algorithm to significantly reduce the complexity, and render MHMT practical. A commonly used symmetric two-head two-track channel model is considered in this paper. Well-structured reduced-state trellises are constructed by evaluating the effective symbol pair distances and designing proper set partitioning principles. Different trellis configurations are obtained based on the desired performance/complexity tradeoff. Simulation results show that the MHMT detector can achieve near maximum-likelihood performance with a small fraction of the original number of trellis states.
