This paper proposes a new concatenated error correction coding scheme for 2-D magnetic recording (TDMR). The designed concatenated coding scheme consists of outer codes as binary polar codes and an inner code as non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. These error-correcting codes (ECCs) are...
