Demonstrates improved detection accuracy in staggered BPMR systems, indicating potential for higher data storage capacity.

The aim is to enhance detection reliability in staggered bit-patterned magnetic recording systems under strong interference.
Developed a sum-soft-information technique for middle-track detection.
Applied inter-track interference subtraction using reliable data from the middle track.
Conducted simulations to evaluate performance at an areal density of 3.0 Tb/in2.
Achieved significant reduction in bit-error rate (BER) compared to conventional systems.
Optimized weighting factor of 1.78 effectively canceled interference.
Demonstrated comparable BER to a three-reader, one-track detection system.
