<p>A method for detecting the location of falsely detected 'good' data, or 'rogue', packets in a data buffer (10) is presented. A segemnt-level CRC is generated (14, 614) over, and associated with, a buffer segment (11), and recorded along with the segment data (15) onto a storage medium. During data recovey, only packets (5) that pass a packet-level error detection test are allowed in the data buffer (10). Once a data segment (11) is complete, a segment-level CRC test (14) is performed over the recovered segment-level CRC and the entire recovered segment data. The segment (11) contains a rogue packet if the segment-level CRC test fails. Reed-Solomon syndromes are generated and used to locate and optionally correct the rogue packets.</p> |
