Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" This application discloses a communication method, apparatus, and system, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: After obtaining a first digital signal sent by a transmitting end, a first receiving end performs digital signal processing on a first sub-signal in the first digital signal. A communication system in which the first receiving end is located includes the transmitting end and a plurality of receiving ends, the transmitting end is communicatively connected to the plurality of receiving ends, and the first receiving end is any one of the plurality of receiving ends. The first sub-signal is determined based on a receiving slot corresponding to the first receiving end, and different receiving ends in the plurality of receiving ends correspond to different receiving slots. This application resolves a problem of high power consumption of a receiving end. This application is used for point-to-multipoint communication between the transmitting end and the plurality of receiving ends.
