Abstract

A communication method, a communications apparatus, and a storage medium are disclosed, to reduce a probability that consecutive bit errors occur in a communications system.

An output of the 1 st -round operation in the N rounds of operations is determined based on the modulated signal and an output that is of the N th -round operation and that is processed by a first delay circuit, and an output of the i th -round operation in the N rounds of operations is determined based on an output of the (i−1) th -round operation and an output that is of the N th -round operation and that is processed by a second delay circuit, where i is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to N.
