Disclosed is a multicarrier-based wireless communication system including a base station for providing a multiple access service to terminals which filter multitone transmitting signals through filters and transmit the filtered signals. A transmitter of the respective terminals includes a multiplexer for multiplexing an input signal and outputting the signal as a plurality of transmitting signals, at least one filter bank for filtering the plurality of transmitting signals, an inverse fast Fourier transformer for executing inverse fast Fourier transform of the filtered transmitting signals output from the filter bank, and a filter information generator for providing filter information to the filter bank. Since the transmitter of the present invention distinguishes users from each other by a filter and thus no synchronization is required between users, which causes a problem in an uplink of the multicarrier-based wireless communication system, system performance can be expected to be improved.
