Abstract
In a multicarrier modulation communication system, subcarriers are allocated to a plurality of users using a plurality of sets of sequential subcarriers. The plurality of sets of sequential subcarriers may be allocated for transmitting information to the plurality of users or for transmitting information from the plurality of users. A multicarrier modulation communication system and the multicarrier modulation communications device is also discussed.
