Abstract
A communication device comprising a transmission unit and a reception unit. The transmission unit is configured to transmit, to a first communication device, first information indicating a first set of subcarriers comprising of a plurality of subcarriers, and to a second communication device, second information indicating a second set of subcarriers comprising of a plurality of subcarriers. The reception unit is configured to receive a first Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM) signal from the first communication device using the first information and a second Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM) signal from the second communication device using the second information. Also, in the communication device, a portion of the second set of subcarriers can overlap with at least a portion of the first set of subcarriers in a time frame of a plurality of time frames.
