An efficient sliding window algorithm using adaptive-length guard window for turbo decoders

An efficient sliding window algorithm employing an adaptive-length guard window for turbo decoders is proposed. The proposed algorithm results in significant complexity reductions, especially for small sliding window lengths where the additional computational complexity required for the guard window is critical.
