This application provides a signal generation method and an apparatus. In the method, a first communication apparatus generates a first signal, and sends the first signal to a second communication apparatus, who receives the first signal, and then demodulates the first signal.

Middle K subcarriers are valid subcarriers, start M−1 subcarriers and last M−1 subcarriers are redundant subcarriers, and a subcarrier spacing between adjacent subcarriers is related to a feature of a time domain pulse used to shape the subcarrier, wherein a width of each of some or all side lobes of a spectrum of the time domain pulse is equal to 1/M of a main lobe width of the time domain pulse, the subcarrier spacing is 1/M of the main lobe width. K is a positive integer, and M is a positive integer greater than 1.

The technical solution solves the technical problems in which the related art is not compatible with a LTE system or effectively suppressing out-of-band leakage or flexibly adjusting a symbol interval to adapt to different channel environments and exhibits poor demodulation performance, thus achieving effective suppression of the out-of-band leakage, having higher compatibility with the LTE system and improving demodulation performance and flexibility of adjusting a symbol interval by simple cyclic shifting.

An apparatus and digital signal processing means are disclosed for excision of co-channel interference from signals received in crowded or hostile environments using spatial/polarization diverse arrays, which reliably and rapidly identifies communication signals with transmitted features that are self-coherent over known framing intervals due to known attributes of the communication network, and exploits those features to develop diversity combining weights that substantively excise that co-channel interference from those communication signals, based on differing diversity signature, timing offset, and carrier offset between the network signals and the co-channel interferers. In one embodiment, the co-channel interference excision is performed in an appliqué that can be implemented without coordination with a network transceiver.

Different filtered-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (f-OFDM) frame formats may be used to achieve the spectrum flexibility. F-OFDM waveforms are generated by applying a pulse shaping digital filter to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal. Different frame formats may be used to carry different traffic types as well as to adapt to characteristics of the channel, transmitter, receiver, or serving cell. The different frame formats may utilize different sub-carrier (SC) spacings and/or cyclic prefix (CP) lengths. In some embodiments, the different frame formats also utilize different symbol durations and/or transmission time interval (TTI) lengths.

Spreading is configured to map the coded symbols to a first sparse DFT-s-OFDM code space in a DFT-s-OFDM symbol, wherein the first sparse DFT-s-OFDM code space is different from a second sparse DFT-s-OFDM code space in the DFT-s-OFDM symbol, the second sparse DFT-s-OFDM code space being employed by a second layer.
