In multilevel flash memory, in general, multiple read thresholds are required to read a single logical page. Random I/O (RIO) code, introduced by Sharon and Alrod, is a coding scheme that enables the reading of one logical page using a single read threshold. It was shown that the construction of RIO codes is equivalent to the construction of write-once memory (WOM) codes. Yaakobi and Motwani proposed a family of RIO codes, called parallel RIO (P-RIO) code, in which all logical pages are encoded in parallel. In this paper, we utilize coset coding with Hamming codes in order to construct P-RIO codes. Coset coding is a technique to construct WOM codes using linear binary codes. We leverage information on the data of all pages to encode each page. Our P-RIO codes, using which more pages can be stored than RIO codes constructed via coset coding, have parameters for which RIO codes do not exist.
