FIELD: physics; communications.
SUBSTANCE: given group of inventions relates to information transmission, particularly to methods for flexible spectrum allocation to several users in a communication system. The result is achieved due to that the spectrum is divided into frequency segments, with each frequency segment having one or more frequency subcarriers. The set of frequency subcarriers in each frequency segment is defined as a cluster, each cluster being associated with a defined wireless communication coverage area. A set of clusters is linked for use in a sector, where each of the clusters linked to the sector contain a unique subcarrier allocation model; another set of clusters is linked for use in another sector adjacent to the said sector, where each cluster in the set of clusters linked to the other sector contains a subcarrier allocation model which is unique for each other cluster in the set of clusters linked to the other sector, and unique for each cluster of the set of clusters linked to the sector; a cluster from the set of clusters linked to the sector is allocated to the first user located in the sector; and a cluster from the set of clusters linked to the other sector is allocated to the second user located in the other sector.
EFFECT: design of flexible frequency-band allocation, which improves frequency separation of interference.
