Message faults are expected to become a major problem for next-generation 5G/6G networks, due to signal fading, high backgrounds, and high density of users. Disclosed are methods to modulate and demodulate messages to optimize noise margins, greatly enhancing reliability at negligible cost, according to some embodiments. A transmitter can modulate a message using amplitude-phase modulation, yet a receiver can conveniently receive and process the signals according to separate in-phase (I) and quad-phase (Q) branches, that is, according to QAM. The receiver can then convert the I and Q values to the original waveform amplitude and phase mathematically, and then demodulate those values using predetermined amplitude and phase levels as provided by a proximate demodulation reference. By converting the as-received QAM values to the as-transmitted amplitude-phase values, the receiver can thereby avoid many noise vulnerabilities inherent in QAM-modulated messages, and thereby obtain the full noise margins provided by amplitude-phase modulation.

The present disclosure provides a multi-carrier time-division multiplexing (MC-TDMA) modulation and demodulation method and system. Before multi-carrier modulation is performed on an input symbol, an interleaving allocation and an FFT may be performed, a time domain symbol may be transformed into a frequency domain symbol signal to perform a MDFT treatment. A sending end may adopt an analyzing filter bank structure, and pre-filtering and an IFFT may be performed on a signal successively. A pre-filter may be positioned between an NM point FFT and an M point IFFT, a PAPR value of the system may be reduced using the symmetry of a coefficient of a filter, and a frequency domain symbol signal may be allocated to different sub-bands for multi-carrier modulation.

The present invention relates to a 5th-generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system, which is to be provided for supporting a higher data transmission rate after the 4th-generation (4G) communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE). The present invention provides a method for receiving a signal in a multi-carrier system, the method comprising the steps of: performing, with respect to an input signal, a waveform pre-processing operation on the basis of at least one of an equalizing operation and a filtering operation; checking whether the waveform pre-processed signal is a Gaussian proximity signal; and performing soft-de-mapping with respect to the waveform pre-processed signal on the basis of a result of the checking.

A system for enabling signal penetration into a building includes a first transceiver, located on an outside of the building, for transmitting and receiving signals at a first frequency outside of the building, wherein the signals at the first frequency do not easily penetrate into an interior of the building. A first up/down converter converts between a first version of the signals at the first frequency and a second version of the signals at a second frequency. The first frequency is higher than the second frequency and the signals at the second frequency better penetrate to the interior of the building and overcome losses caused by penetrating into an interior of the building. A second up/down converter converts between the second version of the signals at the second frequency that overcomes the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building and a third version of the signals after transmission from the building exterior to the building interior. A router transmits and receives the third version of the signals within the interior of the building.
