Abstract: The present invention discloses a modulation method and a modulation apparatus applicable to an OvXDM system, and an OvXDM system. On the one hand, an initial envelope waveform is virtually cut off, and a modulation-domain shift interval is calculated by using a virtual cutoff width of the initial envelope waveform, such that a symbol width obtained after modulation becomes smaller, and a transmission rate is improved; on the other hand, because the initial envelope waveform is virtually cut off but not really cut off, shifting and superimposition are still performed on an initial envelope waveform with tailing, such that the waveform still retains a good performance, such as a relatively narrow width and relatively fast side lobe attenuation, in a corresponding domain. Therefore, in the present invention, the good performance of the waveform is retained in the corresponding domain while the transmission rate is increased.
