               1. A discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method performed by a DFT-spread OFDM transmitter, the DFT-spread OFDM transmission method comprising: 
              constellation-rotating a symbol vector b comprising M pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) symbols by a constellation rotation angle ϕ to generate a constellation-rotated symbol vector d; 
                spreading the constellation-rotated symbol vector d with a size of M*1 by using a pruned DFT matrix WL,M to generate a pruned DFT-spread vector c; 
                performing a Hadamard product on the pruned DFT-spread vector c with a shaping vector s to generate a frequency domain spectrum shaped vector a, wherein the L is a number of subcarriers to be used in an allocated frequency range and the L is less than the M; and 
                allocating the frequency domain spectrum shaped vector a to the subcarrier, 
                wherein the shaping vector s is determined based on the M and the L, and 
                wherein in case that the M is an odd number, the constellation rotation angle ϕ is determined by 
              ![]() and 1-the element of the shaping vector s, Sl, is determined by 
              ![]() where 1=0, 1, 2. . . , L−1 and M/2≤L≤M/2.
