Abstract

A communications system for exchange of information between communications apparatuses by a multicarrier transmission mode using a plurality of subcarriers, that includes a transmission data generator configured to generate frequency band information indicating which frequency band is to be used for transmission of data between said communication apparatuses; a transmitter configured to transmit the frequency band information, using a specific frequency band, set from among a plurality of frequency band assigned to the communications system, to transmit data using at least one frequency band set from among said plurality of frequency bands; a receiver configured to receive the frequency band information by using the specific frequency band, wherein one or more of said frequency band is assigned not consecutive with said specific frequency band along a frequency axis, and at least one not used subcarrier is inserted between the specific frequency and the frequency band or between said frequency bands.

Claims (13)

1. A communications system for exchange of information between a base station and a terminal by a multicarrier transmission mode using a plurality of subcarriers, the communications system comprising:

a base station comprising:

a transmission data generator configured to generate dedicated frequency band information indicating which frequency band is to be used for transmission of dedicated data information between the base station and a terminal; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the dedicated frequency band information by using a specific frequency band which is set from among a plurality of frequency bands assigned to the communications system, and to transmit dedicated data information by using at least one frequency band which is set from among said plurality of frequency bands; and

the terminal comprising a receiver configured to receive the dedicated frequency band information by using the specific frequency band,

wherein, at least one unused subcarrier is inserted between said specific frequency band and said at least one frequency band or between two other adjacent frequency bands of said plurality of frequency bands.

2. A base station for exchange of information with a terminal in a communications system by a multicarrier transmission mode using a plurality of subcarriers, the base station comprising:

a transmission data generator configured to generate dedicated frequency band information indicating which frequency band is to be used for transmission of dedicated data information between the base station and a terminal; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the dedicated frequency band information by using a specific frequency band which is set from among a plurality of frequency bands assigned to the communications system, and to transmit dedicated data information by using at least one frequency band which is set from among said plurality of frequency bands,

wherein, at least one unused subcarrier is inserted between said specific frequency band and said at least one frequency band or between two other adjacent frequency bands of said plurality of frequency bands.

3. A terminal for exchange of information with a base station in a communications system by a multicarrier transmission mode using a plurality of subcarriers, the terminal comprising

a receiver configured to receive dedicated frequency band information transmitted from a base station by using a specific frequency band which is set from among a plurality of frequency bands assigned to the communications system and receive dedicated data information transmitted from the base station by using at least one frequency band which is set from among said plurality of frequency bands,

wherein, at least one unused subcarrier is inserted between said specific frequency band and said at least one frequency band or between two other adjacent frequency bands of said plurality of frequency bands.
