Abstract
A decoding method decodes data iteratively according to a first rule, measures at a selected iteration at least one performance criterion of the decoding of data according to the first rule, performs at the selected iteration a comparison of the at least one performance criterion to a threshold, when the comparison yields a first result relative to the threshold, continues decoding according to the first rule, and when the comparison yields a second result relative to the threshold, continues decoding according to a further rule. Decoding apparatus operates according to the method. The decoding according to the first rule, the measuring at least one performance criterion at the selected iteration, the performing the comparison at the selected iteration, and the continuing decoding according to the first or further rule, may be repeated until the comparison yields a predetermined result. Repeating may be stopped after a predetermined maximum number of iterations.
