Abstract: The present method adds uplink data to a transmission request sent to the base station from the mobile station for obtaining permission for data transmission, or to a channel establishment request sent from the mobile station to the base station for establishing a channel in order to send the transmission request therethrough. This makes it possible to suppress delay caused by negotiation prior to actual uplink data transmission as much as possible, thereby realizing efficient uplink data transmission, that is, improved throughput of uplink communication.

An information downloading apparatus downloads differing sets of information to predetermined groups to which a mobile terminal may belong. This apparatus includes a channel selecting unit for selecting from plural information channels an information channel for transmitting transmission data and a transmitting unit for transmitting transmission data using the selected information channel. The channel selecting unit selects an information channel so that sets of transmission data with differing destination addresses may be transmitted through differing information channels. The transmitting unit transmits to each group, through a control channel, information pertaining to whether a set of transmission data exists, the information channel to be used if the set of transmission data exists, and the data length of the set of transmission data. The control channel includes time slots that are associated with the groups.

Abstract: A communications system for communications by a multicarrier transmission mode between a plurality of communications apparatuses, wherein an overall frequency band assigned to the communications system is divided into a plurality of frequency bands each having a constant bandwidth and a specific band. The divided bands are used to transmit used frequency band information thereby indicating the assignment of the remaining bands used between said communications apparatuses.

The main band may be added with an extension band for transmitting further data channel information. The main band and extension band can be changed in the frequency band used along with time or can be changed in the number thereof. Both the main band and the extension bands are preferably used for multiplexing by some of communications apparatuses.
