A method and system for transmitting data in a wireless network. The method includes generating a plurality of waveforms corresponding to a plurality of frequency subbands for a predetermined frequency band. The predetermined frequency band is divided into a plurality of groups of subbands, and the plurality of groups of subbands being divided into the plurality of frequency subbands. Additionally, the method includes receiving a data signal, processing information associated with the received data signal, modulating the plurality of waveforms based on at least information associated with the received data signal, and transmitting the modulated plurality of waveforms. Any two of the plurality of waveforms are substantially orthogonal to each other. Each of the plurality of waveforms corresponds to a waveform frequency spectrum associated with a spectral amplitude as a function of a frequency.
