17. An iterative decoder comprising:
means for iteratively decoding a received signal;
means for generating a signature from values of an Nth decoding iteration;
means for comparing the signature of the Nth iteration to a signature of an (N-1)th iteration; and
means for stopping the process of iterative decoding if the signature of the (N-1)th iteration is equal to the signature of
the Nth iteration.
