A multicarrier data transmission scheme is provided. According to the provided scheme, a radio transmitter encodes data bits with different degrees, the degree of an encoded data bit being defined by the number of parity check equations protecting the data bit. The data bits are preferably encoded with an irregular low-density parity check (LDPC) code. The encoded data bits are then mapped to symbols. The symbols are allocated to subcarriers of a multicarrier radio signal on the basis of channel state information obtained from the radio receiver and the degree used with respect to each symbol. On the basis of the channel state information, a number of subcarriers are truncated due to high attenuation, and the number of subcarriers to be truncated relative to the total number of subcarriers is substantially fixed. The available transmit power to the non-truncated subcarriers. The multicarrier signal comprising symbols on the non-truncated subcarriers is then transmitted to the radio receiver. |
