Abstract
An adaptive abort criterion in iterative decoding of transmitted, multi-dimensionally encoded information employs the relative entropy, approximations of the relative entropy or quantities similar thereto as criterion for the change in the weighted decisions of successive iteration sub-steps. When an iteration sub-step does not produce a change of the relative entropy lying above a predetermined threshold, then the iterative decoding is aborted.
