The invention provides a communication
system and a
signal sending method and apparatus as well as
signal receiving method and apparatus thereof. The
signal sending apparatus comprises a coding modulation unit, a first
processing unit and an OFDM modulation unit, wherein the coding modulation unit is suitable for, based on channel information, carrying out channel coding and
constellation mapping on each sub-
data stream to be sent; the first
processing unit is suitable for carrying out spreading spectrum and
multiple input multiple output sending process; and the OFDM modulation unit is suitable for carrying out OFDM modulation and outputting OFDM symbol
data stream obtained after the OFDM modulation to a transmitting antenna for transmitting. The signal receiving apparatus comprises an OFDM
demodulation unit, a second
processing unit and a
demodulation decoding unit, wherein the OFDM
demodulation unit is suitable for carrying out OFDM demodulation on
baseband signals received by receiving antennas; the second processing unit is suitable for carrying out
multiple input multiple output receiving process and de-spreading spectrum operation; and the demodulation decoding unit is suitable for carrying out
constellation de-mapping and channel decoding, and thus target data is obtained. The technical scheme of the invention is capable of effectively resisting frequency selective
fading and the interference of co-frequency neighbor cells, so that the communication
system is allowed to have high stability, high
throughput and co-frequency networking capability.
