Prior work has demonstrated that recurrent neural network architectures show promising improvements over other machine learning architectures when processing temporally correlated inputs, such as wireless communication signals. Additionally, recurrent neural networks typically process data on a sequential basis, enabling the potential for near real-time results. In this work, we investigate the novel usage of "just enough" decision making metrics for making decisions during inference based on a variable number of input symbols. Since some signals are more complex than others, due to channel conditions, transmitter/receiver effects, etc., being able to dynamically utilize just enough of the received symbols to make a reliable decision allows for more efficient decision making in applications such as electronic warfare and dynamic spectrum sharing. To demonstrate the validity of this concept, four approaches to making "just enough" decisions are considered in this work and each are analyzed for their applicability to wireless communication machine learning applications.
