Numerous variable tap-length algorithms can be found in some literature and few strategies are derived from a basic theoretical formula. Thus, some algorithms lack of theoretical depth and their performance are unstable. In view of this point, the novel variable tap-length algorithm which is based on the mixed error cost function is presented in this letter. By analyzing the mixed expectation of the prior and the posterior error, the novel variable tap-length strategy is derived. The proposed algorithm has a more valid proximity to the optimal tap-length and a good convergence ability by the performance analysis. It can solve many deficiencies comprising large fluctuations of the tap-length, the high complexity and the weak steady-state ability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm equips good performance.
