Are you looking at this from a mathematical perspective? Political? ;-)

I'm looking from the mathematical perspective. Dr. A. Touzni claim the
Eq.(1) in his paper is exactly the VSB modulation. However, it looks
like OQAM more than VSB

I'm working on carrier recovery for 8-VSB without pilot tone. It seems
that the ideas originally designed for OQAM could be a solution.
That's why I need the mathematical derivations. The BSS (blind source
separation) is also possible, but in my simulation it fails to track
if frequency offset exists. Is there some other methods? I have to
find it before my advisor get angry

In Omaha Hi/Lo, that's a good hand.

I'm curious why the standard can't use a code-division or some sort of
clocking mechanism to synchronise. Stop using analog transmissions to
send digital information! The squelch of modems is not cool. I want
to hear digital white-noise static. Think CDMA or 802.11a. I'm
beggining to believe the rantings of that Bob nut.
