US Patent 10963342 Metadata-assisted encoding and decoding for a memory sub-system

Data to be stored at a memory sub-system can be received from a host system. A portion of the host data that includes user data and another portion of the host data that includes system metadata can be determined. A mapping for a data structure can be received that identifies locations of the data structure that are fixed with respect to an encoding operation and locations of the data structure that are not fixed with respect to the encoding operation. The data structure can be generated for the user data and system metadata based on the mapping, and an encoding operation can be performed on the data structure to generate a codeword.
