Similarly, a known specific PAC 1D recorded on the PAC may be referred to as a "known rule" and "PAC specific information" that is applied to the PAC may be referred to as a "Known PAC".
An example structure of a PAC recorded on a PAC zone will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates an overall structure of a high density optical write-once disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the high density optical write-once disc may be partitioned, from an 2 o inner circumference to an outer circumference, into a lead-in zone, a data zone, and a Lead-out zone. The lead-in zone may further include a temporary disc management area (TDMA) further including defect management and recording management zones of the optical disc.
Far a high density optical write-once disc, the TDMA can physically record data on the disc only once. Accordingly, in order to record defect management and recording management information on the disc, which can be updated one or more times during the life of the disc, additional TDMAs may be also be included in an inner spare area (ISA) or an outer spare area {OSA) within the data zone. A TDMA may include a first physical sec#or number of a defect list, a temporary disc definition structure (TDDS) containing information, such as the location of the data zone, andlor a temporary defect list (TDFL).
The lead-in zone may furkher be partitioned into an INF02 zone and an INFO1 zone for recording various kinds of information thereon. The INF02 zone and/or the INFO1 zone may include PAC {Physical Access Control) zones. The PAC Zone assigned to the zone may be referred to as a PAC2 zone and the PAC zone assigned to the INFOI
zone may be referred to as a PACI zone. One of the PAC2 zone and the PACT zone may have an z 5 original PAC recorded thereon and the other may act as a back-up zone for recording a copy of the original PAC.
As described above, the PAC zone may controls read/write of data for the entire disc or a specific segment and, therefore, may include an "unknown rule" for restricting the readlwrite functions of a drive. The area of the disc being controlled by the "unknown rule" may 2 o include a disc management area {DMA), a spare area, a user data area, andlox other relevant areas. More specifically, the user data area can be sectioned into segment areas defined on the disc, to which the "unknown rule" may be applied. Segments are discussed in more detail below.
An "unknown rule" may be used to ensure predictable operations of the disc, and may 5 include controls for operation, such as reads, writes, andlor other similar operations, for linear replacement of a defective zone, logical overwrite of the high density optical write-once disc, and/or other sinular operations. An area may be provided on the disc where the "unlmown rule" is applicable, having segments for defining an entire disc, or a specific segment of the disc. Therefore, by defining an area a previous version drive {or legacy drive) is able to 10 access by using the "unknown rule" of a PAC recorded in a PAC zone, a newer version of the optical disc can resolve any problems that may occur, but cannot be identified in a previous version, such as reducing unnecessary access operations of the previous version drive.
Moreover, by defining an accessible area on a physical area of the disc for the previous version drive to access using a PAC, a data area having user data recorded thereon can be 5 protected more robustly andlor unauthorized access {for example, hacking) of the disc may be prevented or reduced.
The INF02 zone and the INFOl zone having the PAC2 zane and the PACT zone therein in the high density optical write-one disc will now be described in detail. FIG.
2 illustrates an INF02 zone and an INFO1 zone of the high density optical write-once disc according to an 2 o example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the INF02 zone may WO 2005!089072 PCTlKR2005/000592 i~
include 256 clusters including 32 clusters of PAC2 zone, 32 clusters of DMA(Defect Management Area) 2 for management of defects, 32 clusters of CD (Control Data) Z zone having control information recorded thereon, andJor 32 clusters of BZ (Buffer Zone} 3 of a buffex zone. In addition, the INFO1 zone may have 256 clusters including 32 clusters of BZ2, 32 clusters of DMA!, 32 clusters of CDl, 32 clusters of PAC1, and/or I28 clusters of drive area.
A PAC zone according to an example embodiment of the present invention may be seciaoned to have 32 clusters in each of the 1NFU2 zone and the INFO1 zone within the lead-in zone.
A PAC zone having a size of 32 clusters may be sectioned so that each PAC is the size of one 1 o cluster. Further, the number of PACs each being the size of a single cluster may be selectable up to a maximum (for example, a maximum of 32 clusters). An example structure in which one PAC is recorded at the size of one cluster is described with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 illustrates a physical access control (PAC) recordable on a high density optical write-once disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3, one PAC of one cluster size (32 frames or sectors) may include a header zone and/or a specific information zone specific to a particular disc drive {for example, optical disc drive).
The PAC header zone may have 384 bytes allocated to a first frame of the PAC, for recording various kinds of PAC information, such as information on an "unknown PAC rule"
and segments, and another area of the PAC zone may have information specific to the optical disc 2 o drive, also referred to as a "known rule", recorded thereon.

WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR20051000592 A more detailed structure of the above-mentioned example PAC having information recorded thereon is described with reference to FIG. 4. A more detailed description of a field of the PAC will follow with reference to a drawing illustrating the specific field corresponding to the PAC. FIG. 4 illustrates a PAC in a high density optical write-once disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the PAC may include a header portion (up to 384 bytes of the first frame) and an area having specific information specific to the drive recorded thereon. More specifically, the header portion may include 3 bytes of "PAC )D", 1 byte of "PAC format", 4 bytes of "PAC Update Account", 4 bytes of "Unknown PAC Rules", 1 byte of "Entire Disc Flags", 1 byte of "Number of Segments", 1. o andlor 32 "segments (Segment 0 ~ Segment 31) each having 8 bytes.
The "PAC_)D" is a field that may include present PAC status and identification codes. For example, when the "PAC m" is recorded as '00 O(? 00h', the "PAC )l.?" may indicate that the present PAC is not used. In case of a re-writable high density optical disc, when the "PAC TD" is recorded as 'FF FF FFh', the "PAC ID" may act as a code indicating that the present PAC zone has been previously used but is available for additional use (i.e., usable once again). Moreover, by recording the "PAC m" in specific bits, such as '54 S3 54h', a "PAClm" can be used as a code for determining whether the present drive is capable of and/or permitted to have free and/or complete access to the disc. In other words, if the present drive is unable to acknowledge the "PAC 117" applied as described above, then the 2 o present drive is determined to be incapable of acknowledging the inputted "PAC ID" for some reason, such as mismatched versions. Thus, the '54 53 54h' bits may be used as a code requiring reference to information recorded on the "Unlmown PAC Rules" field.
As described above, the "Unlrnown PAC Rules" field may be used as a field that designates an operation range of the drive that cannot aclrnowledge the present PAC, a more detailed description of which will follow with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 illustrates a configuration of an "Unknown PAC Rules" field according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Refernng to FIG. 5, control of andlor access to various areas on the disc may defined by an "Unlaiown PAC Rules" field, which may be expressed as 4 bytes (or 32 bits).
In this example, the "Area" column in Fig. 5 represents the controliable/acessible areas on the l 0 disc, the "Number of bits" column represents the control bits, and the "Control type" column represents control types, such as read/write and/or other similar operations.
The controllable/accessible areaslzones of the "Unl~cown PAC Rules" field may include controls, such as write control of the "TDMA, (excluding Temporary Disc Definition Structure (TDDS))", write control of the "Spare Areas" within the data zones, write and read control of control data (CD) zones within the INFO zone, write and read control of a "Segment Area" when a "User Data Area" or a segment area is defined in the data zone, and/or write and read control of a "PAC cluster" within the INFO zone. By using fields, such as those defined above, a controllable area within the disc for a drive having an unknown PAC )D can be designated using the "Unknown PAC Rules". Therefore, the_ "Unlmown 2 0 PAC Rules" can be used for controlling access to the entire disc or a specific area within the 7.4 physical zone of the disc, if there is a drive version mismatch or if the user wants to control access.
Returning to Fig. 4, a "PAC Update Count" field may be used to indicate a number of updates in the PAC (which may be initially set to '0'). The recorded number may be increased by one each time the PAC is re-written. The "Entire Disc Flag"
field, shown in FIG. 4, may be used as a field applied to the entire area of the disc, regardless of the allocation of the segment area for the unlrnown PAC and may indicate whether re-initialization is allowed. In case of a high density optical write-once disc, re-initialization cannot be performed. In this case, the "Entire Disc Fiag" field may be to indicate that the 1 o PAC is applicable to an entire area of the disc, and the "Number of Segments" field is a field representing a number of segment area the PAC is applicable to.
The "Number of Segments" field may indicate the number of segment areas being applied to the PAC. The segment may include a maximum number (for example, 32) of segments that can be ailocated to one PAC. Information on the allocated segments may be written on fields of "Segment 0" to "Segment 31", each which may include 8 bytes. The first physical sector number (PSN) of the first cluster in the segment area of the first 4 bytes may be recorded on each of the "Segment 0" field to the "Segment 31" field.
Segments are described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates segment zones iii a high density optical disc according to an example embodiment of the present 2 0 invention. Referring to FIG. 6, there can be a maximum number (for example, 32) of WO 2005!089072 PCT/KR20051000592 segment areas in succession starting from "segment 0" if required on a high density optical disc, for applying the PAC thereto. Up to the maximum number {for example, 32}
of segments can be allocated starting from "segment 0" in an ascending order for management by one PAC, and even if there are a plurality of PACs, a total number of the segment areas 5 managed by the PACs should not exceed the maximum number (for example, 32).
Tn this example, by writing a starting location of the allocated segment area as the first PSN
of the first Cluster and the last location of the allocated segment area as the last PSN of the last Cluster on the "Segment" fields, the optical disc drive can determine locations of the segment areas. In this example, none of the plurality of segments allocated, and managed by 1 D one PAC overlap with one another, and the starting and last locations are designated at boundaries of clusters.
Thus, in example embodiments, the present invention may provide a plurality of PACs, to manage a number (for exarapte, 32) segment areas, which are described in more detail below.
FIG. 7 illustrates a structure of a PAC zone in a high density optical write-once disc 15 according to an exan;ple embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, a plurality of "Valid PACs", each with one cluster size may be written on one PAC zone (a PAC zone of INF02 or INFO!} of 32-cluster size, as required. A valid PAC may be a zone having various kinds of PAC information described above. A PAC that is not accessible by an. optical disc drive, for reasons such as recording update, defect, and/or similar conditions, 2 o may be referred to as an "Invalid PAC".

As described above, a valid PAC may include a preset PAC,~>D, depending upon a version of the optical disc drive on which the PAC is recorded and any unused PAC zones may remain as a spare PAC. In case of a re-writable optical disc, 00 bits (PAC m = 00 00 OOh) rnay occupy the spare PAC zone indicating that the zone has not been used, depending upon the settings of the optical disc drive, or may remain as an unrecorded (or not used) zone.
However, in case of a high density optical write-once disc (BD-R), the information can only be physically recorded once on the disc. Therefore, until the recording is completed or until the disc is closed (where the user selects to no longer perform recording), the spare area may remain unrecorded.
1 o In a PAC zone having the above-described structure, searching for the location of a valid PAC zone, or avoiding a zone no longer requiring recording (due to a previous recording and an invalid PAC zone in order to quickly locate a next recordable zone) has an affect on the recording speed of the disc (a plurality of retry processes may be required for reading a defective zone). Accordingly, example embodiments of the present invention include a method of recording various types of PAC-related status information, such as the location of the plurality of valid PACs, location of the next recordable PAC, and/or other related information, in a structure, such as a temporary disc definition structure (TDDS) until disc closing is performed. When disc closing is performed, the most recent TDDS
information may be moved to a disc definition structure (DDS) of a separate disc management area 2 0 (DMA) within the optical disc.

WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCTlKR2005/000592 z~
As described above, the TDDS may be a zone including information, such as a first physical sector number in a defect list, location of a user data area, and/or other similar information.
More specifically, the information recorded in the TDDS of the disc may include a temporary defect list (TDFL) andlor TDDS information. The information recorded in the TDDS may be pre-scanned and pre-loaded upon the loading of the disc into the drive.
Therefore, when various types of status information, such as the locations of the plurality of valid PACs and the next recordable PAC are recorded in the TDDS, the optical disc drive can easily acquire information on the PAC zone without having the scan the entire PAC zone.
An example structure of a TDDS including various types of information related to the status of the PAC zone will now be described. FIG. s illustrates a TDDS structure in a high density optical write-one disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 8, the TDDS of the high density optical write-once disc may include a "TDDS Identifier" field, a "TDDS Format" field, a "Location of LSN 0 of User Data Area"
field indicating the location of a .logical sector number (LSl~ 0 in the user data area, a "PAC
Status LO" field indicating the status information of the PAC, and/or a "PAC
Status LI" field indicating the PAC status information for a dual layer disc.
The "PAC Status LO" field may include a total of 16 bits and may be used as a PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone, as well as a field indicating the status of the PAC existing in the PACT zone of the II'1F01 zone. If the disc is a dual layer disc, the "PAC Status LI"
field may be to 2 0 indicate which layer of a dual Layer disc the PAC is recorded on.

WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCTIKR20051000592 7. 8 Example methods for recording the PAC status information in a TDDS will now be described in detail. FIGS. 9A to 9C illustrate a method for recording a PAC zone and PAC
status information in the high density optical write-once disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 9A, a maximum number (for example, 32) of PACs, each having the size of one chzster, can be allocated in the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone having 32 clusters allocated therein. The PAC recorded on the PAC2 zone may be the original PAC, and a copy of the original PAC may be recorded in the PAC 1 zone of the INFO1 zone. The PACT zone of the INFO1 zone can also be the original PAC zone and the copy of the original can be 1 o recorded in the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone.
As shown in FIG. 9B, a single "PAC Status LO" field may use a total of 128 bits {or 16 bytes) to indicate the PAC status within the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone and the PACT
zone of the INFOI zone. In case of a dual layer disc, a total of 256 bits (or 32 bytes) may be used, since a "1'AC Status L1" field may further be included therein. Accordingly, 2 bits may be used to represent information included in one PAC zone. For example, among the 64 bits having the PAC2 status information on the PAC Status Bitmap, hits b63 and b62 may contain the status information on PAC #1 (location 1) of the PAC2 zone, and bits b61 and b60 bits may contain the status information on PAC #2 (location 2) of the PAC2 zone.
Sequentially allocated in a similar method, bits b1 and b0 bits may contain the status information on PAC
#32 (location 32} of the PAC2 zone. In other words, 2 bits may be allocated to a PAC, WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR20051000592 thereby indicating the PAC status of the PAC2 zone. Similarly, the status information on the PAC 1 zone may also be represented on the PAC Status Bitmap using the saane method.
FIG. 9C illustrates the PAC status of a corresponding PAC zone represented by 2 bits.
Referring to the example of FIG. 9C, when the 2 bits indicating the PAC status are '00', the corresponding PAC is not recorded. When the 2 bits are '0l', the PAC is not used in a high density optical write-once disc. In case of a high density optical re-writable disc, the '0l' bits can either be used as PAC DJ = 00 00 OOh indicating that the corresponding PAC
has not been recorded, or a PAC ID = FF FF FFh indicating that the PAC has been previously used but can be re-used. Tn addition, when the 2 bits are '10', either the corresponding PAC zone 1 o is a defective zone or the bits are used to indicate that the corresponding PAC is an invalid PAC. When the 2 bits are '11', the bits may be used to indicate that the corresponding PAC
is a valid PAC.
Accordingly, the next recordable PAC zone is the PAC zone indicated by '00', which indicate the PAC status in the "PAC Status" field, and the location of the defective zone or the invalid PAC becomes a PAC zone indicated by 'I0'. Further, the location of the valid PAC is a PAC zone indicated by '11'. By using the above described method, the optical disc drive can acquire information on the location of a valid PAC, the location of a defective zone or an invalid PAC, the location of the next recordable PAC zone, among the PACs recorded on the PAC2 zone and the PAC1 zone, through the "PAC Status" field of the I6 bytes (or 32 2 o bytes when using the dual layer disc) inserted in the TDDS area. A more detailed description WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KIt20051000592 will follow below.
FIGs. 10A and lOB illustrate an example of a PAC zone and PAC status information being recorded in the high density optical write-once disc according to an example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 10A, the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone having the 5 original PAC recorded thereon may include a valid PAC, an invalid PAC, and an unrecorded PAC zone. The copy of the original PAC recorded on the PAC2 zone may be recorded on the PAC1 zone. At this point, an error may occur during the recording process, which may be caused, for example, if the corresponding PAC zone is a defective zone.
Therefore, when an error occurs as described above, the corresponding PAC is recorded on the PAC zone 10 subsequent to the error-occurring PAC zone. The same rule applies to when an error occurs during the recording of the original PAC.
FIG. 10H illustrates an example PAC zone being recorded in a "PAC Status"
field of a TDDS
indicating the PAC status information. More specifically, in the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone, PAC #1 {location 1) is a valid PAC and is recorded as '11' in the corresponding field of 15 the 'PAC Status" field and PAC #2 (location 2) is an invalid PAC and is recorded as '10' in the corresponding field. Being unrecorded, the rest of the zone is recorded as '00' on the corresponding field, thereby indicating unrecorded status. Meanwhile, in the PAC1 zone of the INFO1 zone, because an error may have occurred during recording (for example, due to a defect), PAC #i (location 1) is identified as a defective zone and '10' is recorded on the 2 0 corresponding field of the "PAC Status" field, and a next PAC #2 (location 2) is a valid PAC

WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR20051000592 and '11' is recorded on the corresponding field. A next PAC #3 (location 3) is an invalid PAC and '10' is recorded on the corresponding field. The rest of the zone is unrecorded and '0O' is recorded on the corresponding field.
FIGs. 11A to 11D illustrate a method for recording a PAC zone and PAC status information according to another example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. l 1A, the original PAC may be recorded on the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone, and the copy of the original PAC may be recorded on the PAC1 zone. In tire method according to another example embodiment of the present invention, when an error occurs on one side during recording, the recording zone of the corresponding side is not used. The same rule may be applied to errors detected during reading (or representation). More specificahy, when an error occurs in a zone 1 (location 1) of the PAC1 zone having the copy of the original PAC
reCOFded thereon, the corresponding zone 1 {location I) of the PAC2 zone is also unused.
Then, the PAC is re-written on the zone subsequent to zone 1.
Similarly, when an error occurs in zone 3 (location 3} of the PAC2 zone having the original PAC recorded thereon, the corresponding PAC is recozded on a zone subsequent to zone 3.
Accordingly, the corresponding zone 3 of the PACT zone is also unused, and the copy of the original PAC is recorded on a zone subsequent to zone 3 of the PAC1 zone. When using the above-described example method, the PACs being recorded on the PAC2 zone and the PACT
zone, respectively, are identical and located in the same zone. Therefore, if an error occurs 2 o while the driver reads the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone, the driver can alternatively access WO 2005/089072 ~ PCTJKR2005/000592 and read the PAC located in the same zone in the PACT zone of the INFOl zone without requiring any additional information.
Moreover, when representing the status information of the PAC zone being recorded on the TDDS, a PAC may be recorded on identical locations on the PAC2 zone and the PAC1 zone, and so only the information of either one of the PAC2 and PAC1 zones can be indicated. A
more detailed description will follow with reference to FIG. 11B. Referring to FIG. 11B, 8 bytes may be used in the "PAC Status" field of the TDDS (or 16 bytes when using a dual layer disc), and the indication of the status information of only one of the PAC2 zone and the PAC1 zone is required. When the status information is indicated by using 2 bitmaps, as 1 o described in the example embodiment shown in FIG. 9B, the 2 bitmaps may contain the same information. The 2-bit information being recorded is shown in FIG. 11 C, which is represented by using the same example method described in FTG. 9C.
The PAC zone recorded as shown in FIG. 11A may be recorded in the "PAC status"
field, as shown in FIG. 11D. More specifically, referring to FIG. 1 ID, in the PAC2 zone or the PACI
zone, zone 1 (location 1) is an error zone and '10' is recorded in the corresponding field, zone 2 (location 2) is a valid PAC and '1 I' is recorded in the corresponding field, zone 3 (location 3) is an error zone and '10' is recorded in the corresponding field, and zone 4 (location 4) is a valid PAC and 'I1' is recorded in the corresponding field. The rest of the zone is unrecorded and '00' is recorded on the corresponding field.
2 o FIG. 12 illustrates a method for displaying PAC status information on a TDDS when the 1 WO 2005!089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR2005/000592 recorded PAC according to an example embodiment of the present invention is updated.
Referring to FIG. 12 and, more particularly, to part (a), a PAC may be recorded on the PAC2 zone of the INF02 zone and the PAC1 zone of the lIVF01 zone, and the PAC
status information may be recorded in the "PAC Status" field of the TDDS. An example of a field having a single valid PAC (PAC 1 } is described. For a PAC recorded as described above, an update of the recorded single valid PAC information may be required. In this example, when the optical disc is a high density optical re-writable disc, the information can be re-written using an overwriting method. However, in case of a high density optical write-once disc, an overwriting method cannot be used.
Therefore, when using a high density optical write-once disc, the updated valid PAC may be recorded on a next zone subsequent to the PAC 1, as shown in part (b) of FIG.
12.
Eventually, the previously recorded PAC 1 become an invalid PAC, and the corresponding status information is updated from '11', which initially indicated that PAC I
was a valid PAC, to '10'. Also, since the newly updated next valid PAC 1 is updated from an initially unrecorded zone to a valid PAC, the PAC status is updated from '00' to '11'.
Further, as shown in part (c) of FIG. 12, when recording a next valid PAC 2, a copy of the valid PAC 2 may be recorded in the PAC1 zone of the INFO 1 zone. At this point, an error may occur during the process of recording the valid PAC 2 in the PACI zone of the 1NF01 zone. If an error occurs, the valid PAC 2 may be recorded on a next recordable zone 2 0 subsequent to the ermr zone. Accordingly, by recording the valid PAC 2, the PAC status WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR2005/000592 information representing the PAC2 zone may be updated from '00', which initially indicated that PAC 2 was an unrecorded zone, to '11'. Moreover, since an error occurred during the process of recording the valid PAC 2, the PAC status information representing the PACI
zone may be updated from '00' to '10'. Further, because the valid PAC 2 is recorded on a next recordable zone, the PAC status information is updated from '00' to '11'.
Although not shown, when an error occurs in a zone, which is initially a valid PAC at the time of reading, the status information may be updated from '11' to '10'.
Furthercx~ore, the TDDS information may be continuously updated as required, within the TDMA, prior to disc closing. Further, s mentioned previously, if the TDMA is insufficient, an additional TDMA
1 o may be allocated.
FIG. 13 illustrates a TDDS in a high density optical write-once disc according to another example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 13, the TDDS of the high density optical write-once disc may include a "TDDS Identifier" field, a "TDDS
Format"
field, a "Location of LSN 0 of User Data Area" field indicating the location of a logical sector number (LSN) 0 in the user data area, a "Last LSN of User Data Area"
field indicating the last logical sector number (LSN) in the user data area, a "PAC Clusters Defect Status"
field indicating an error status of a PAC, andlor a "PAC Allocated Space"
field indicating the allocated status of the PAC zone. Further, in the TDDS having the above-described example structure, the "PAC Clusters Defect Status" field and the "PAC Allocated Space" field may 2 o be used to indicate various types of PAC status information, such as the location of a cluster WO 2005/089072 ~ ~ PCT/KR2005/000592 having a defective cluster and a valid PAC allocated therein in the PAC zone.
A method for indicating PAC status information by using a 'PAC Clusters Defect Status"
field andlor a "PAC Allocated Space" field will now be described in detail.
FIGs. 14A and 14B illustxate a method for recording a PAC zone and PAC status information in the high 5 density optical write-once disc according to another example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. /4A, a total number (for example, 32) of PACs can be recorded in a single PAC zone. For each of the recorded PACs; in order to indicate the defects in the PAC clusters, 32 bits may be used in the "PAC Clusters Defect Status" field, as shown in FIG.
/4B. 64 bits may be required in order to also indicate the status of the PACT
zone having the 1 o copy of the original PAC recorded thereon, and 128 bits may be required for a dual layer disc.
More specifically, referring to FIG. 14B, a PAC defect status (PDS) N bit may be used to indicate the defect status of a corresponding cluster. '0' may be use to indicate that the PAC
cluster N is not a defective area, and 'I' may be used to indicate that PAC
cluster N is a defective area. PDS 31 bit and PDS 30 bit may be sequentially allocated to indicate the status a.5 of PAC #1 zone and PAC #2 zone, respectively. 32 PDS bits may be provided to indicate a possible defect status within the single PAC zone. In addition, 32 bits may be used in the "PAC Allocated Space" field in order to indicate the allocated status of the PAC zone.
Similarly, 64 bits may be used in order to indicate the status of the PAC1 zone having a copy of the original PAC recorded thereon and 128 bits may be needed for a dual layer disc.
2 o The PAC status bit (PSB) N bit, shown in FIG. 14B, may be used to indicate the allocated WO 2005/089072 ~ PCT/I~20051000592 status of the PAC zone, '0' may be used to indicate that the PAC cluster N is in a newly allocatable status (e.g., the corresponding PAC is unused), and '1' may be used to indicate that the PAC cluster N has already been used As shown in the description of the PDS bit, the PSB bits may be sequentially allocated from PAC #1 to PAC #30. PSB 31 bit m3~y he used to indicate the status of PAC #1 zone, PSB 30 may be used to indicate the status of PAL
#2 zone, and so on.
FIGS. 15A and 15B illustrate an example of a PAC zone and PAC status information recorded in a high density optical write-once disc according to another example embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 15A, PAC #1, PAC #2, and PAC #3 are allocated 1 o in the TDDS, Referring to FIG. 15B, when the PAC #2 is a defective area, the PDS bit indicating the PAC #2 zone in the bitrnap of the "PAC Clusters Defect Status"
field is recorded as '1'. The PSB 3I, PSB 30, and PSB 29 each indicating the PAC #1, PAC #2, and PAC #3 zones, respectively, in the bitmap of the "PAC Allocated Space" field indicating the allocation status are also recorded as '1'. Accordingly, through the above-described example 1 s TDDS information, an optical disc driver can identify the PAC #4 zone as the next recordable zone.
