The present invention discloses a method for reducing the signal peak-to-average ratio in an FBMC system. According to the method, firstly, a signal is pre-processed at a signal transmission end and the data overlapping condition is avoided even after data are multiplied by a phase rotation factor after being subjected to constellation mapping. Secondly, in combination with the conventional PTS method, data are partitioned, and a set of data smallest in peak-to-average ratio among multiple sets of data is selected and transmitted. Therefore, the signal peak-to-average ratio is well reduced. Meanwhile, the signal demodulation is conducted at a receiving end according to the discriminant rule of signals. In this way, the transmission of the sideband information is avoided. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the peak-to-average power ratio of the FBMC system is reduced, while the information demodulation of the receiving end is enabled without the transmission of the phase rotation factor. Under the same condition, the utilization rate of spectrum resources is improved and the use efficiency of the entire system is increased.
