In a TDS-OFDM communications system for uplink wireless communication multiple accesses through sub-channelization, the system comprising: a plurality of users with each user using a portion of available time-frequency radio resources to achieve orthogonal multiple access; a plurality of available bandwidth, wherein the available bandwidth is divided into multiple sub-bands; at least one the sub-carrier in each sub-band. Inside the sub-band for each user, at least one guard sequence, being used as the guard interval between transmitted symbols.
