Summary:An orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) wireless communication system supports two OFDM communication modes of operation. A first OFDM communication mode of operation utilises a first respective communication bandwidth and a second OFDM communication mode of operation utilises a second communication bandwidth that incorporates the first communication bandwidth and at least one side carrier of the first communication bandwidth, where the at least one side carrier is arranged to carry no power in the first mode of operation. Signalling information is communicated in the at least one side-carrier in the second mode of operation, thereby indicating that the second mode of communication is to be used.
