Patent ID: 6889907

Claim:
A method for arranging input binary data bits among a plurality of pages to be stored in a holographic storage medium, each page including M×N storage positions, one data bit being arranged at one storage position, wherein an X number of sequential binary data bits are arranged among successive Q pages and at least one data bit is arranged in each of Q pages, M, N, X, Q being positive integers greater than 1 and X being greater than Q, wherein X=n×Q, with n being an integer smaller than M×N and n data bets are arranged in each of Q pages, wherein the X number of data bits are arranged on an m bits per page basis at a time, m being a positive integer not greater than n, wherein the X number of data bits are arranged at same positions in each page on an m bits per page basis at a time, and wherein the m corresponds to 1.
