A method of allocating a plurality of data symbols from a transmitting end using multiple carrier modulation (MCM) is disclosed. More specifically, the method includes receiving the plurality of data symbols from a serial-to-parallel converter, grouping the plurality data symbols into at least one data symbol group, wherein the at least one data symbol group is formed by grouping a specified number of neighboring data symbols, and allocating the at least one data symbol group to at least one subcarrier group, wherein the at least one subcarrier group is formed by grouping a plurality of subcarriers.
