Claim Text:
1. A method for signal modulation, comprising: determining at least one guard band between at least two continuous available sub-bands among multiple available sub-bands that can be used by a communication entity and are discrete; and using the at least one guard band in signal modulation for the communication entity, wherein using the at least one guard band in signal modulation for the communication entity further comprises: reserving a reversed band in a size of a guard bandwidth at one of two ends of the at least two continuous available sub-bands, the guard bandwidth being the bandwidth of the guard band; using a remaining part except for the reversed band of the at least two continuous available sub-bands in the signal modulation to generate a modulated signal; and performing a frequency shift on the modulated signal in a direction towards said one of the two ends, so as to generate spare bands at the two ends of the at least two continuous available sub-bands, respectively, wherein a sum of the bandwidths of the spare bands at the two ends is equal to the guard bandwidth.
