AI summary

Embodiments of this application disclose a communication method and a communication apparatus, to reduce a PAPR of a signal sent by a sending device by using an FDSS waveform processing manner, and reduce decoding power consumption of a receiving device by using a polar code encoding manner. This improves communication energy efficiency. In this method, the sending device performs frequency domain spectrum shaping FDSS processing on a first signal, to obtain a second signal, where the first signal is a signal obtained by performing polar code encoding based on a modulation and coding scheme; and then, the sending device sends a target signal to the receiving device, where the target signal is a signal obtained based on the second signal.
