1. A system, comprising: an input configured to receive data, wherein the data comprises one or more bits inserted at predetermined locations in the data, and wherein a number of the one or more bits inserted in the data corresponds to a number of inner-code parity bits to be inserted at the predetermined locations subsequent to an encoding operation being performed on the data; and an encoder module configured to perform the encoding operation on the data using an error correcting code; subsequent to the encoding operation being performed on the data, use an inner code to generate the inner-code parity bits based on the data; and at the predetermined locations in the data, replace the one or more bits inserted in the data with the inner-code parity bits generated based on use of the inner code.
