High-density bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) can be obtained by reducing the spacing between data bitislands in both the along-and across-track directions, thus leading to severe intersymbol interference (ISI) and intertrack interference (ITI) because of small bit and track pitches, respectively. Here, we propose to use the graph-based detector, instead of the trellis-based detector, in iterative decoding to combat the ISI and the ITI for a multi-head multi-track BPMR system. Specifically, the readback signal is sent to the graph-based detector before iteratively exchanging the soft information with a decoder. Experimental results indicate that at low to moderate complexity, the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes, especially at high recording density.

Because of the physical and engineering problems of conventional magnetic data storage systems, bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) is expected to be a promising technology for extending the storage density to beyond 1 Tb /in2. To increase the storage density in BPMR systems, the separation between islands in both down- and cross-track directions must be reduced; this reduction results in two-dimensional interference from neighboring symbols in those directions, which is a major performance degradation factor in BPMR. Herein, we propose an iterative signal detection scheme between a Viterbi detector and a multilayer perceptron to improve the performance of a BPMR system. In the proposed signal detection scheme, we use the modified output of a multilayer perceptron as a priori information to improve equalization and extrinsic information to decrease the effect of intertrack interference.

In bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) channels, the inter-track interference (ITI) is extremely severe at ultra high areal densities, which significantly degrades the system performance. The partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) technique that uses an one-dimensional (1D) partial response target might not be able to cope with this severe ITI, especially in the presence of media noise and track mis-registration (TMR). This paper describes the target and equalizer design for highdensity BPMR channels. Specifically, we proposes a two-dimensional (2D) cross-track asymmetric target, based on a minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) approach, to combat media noise and TMR. Results indicate that the proposed 2D target performs better than the previously proposed 2D targets, especially when media noise and TMR is severe.
