Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system to be provided for supporting a data transfer rate higher than that of a 4G communication system, such as LTE, and subsequent systems. The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a QAM signal in a filter bank-based multicarrier communication system, and an apparatus therefor. Particularly, the present invention provides an efficient transmission and reception method and apparatus capable of obtaining high performance in the transmission of a QAM signal without intrinsic interference in a multi-path delay channel environment in a filter bank-based multicarrier communication system. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a transmission method in a filter bank-based multicarrier (FBMC) communication system, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: spreading each of two QAM signals divided into a plurality of groups to a plurality of signals on a frequency axis; intersecting at least one signal, which is overlapped with a spread signal of an adjacent QAM signal among the plurality of spread signals, with the spread signal of the adjacent QAM signal; filtering, by each of the plurality of groups, the plurality of spread signals of which at least one signal has been intersected; and transmitting the plurality of filtered spread signals by being overlapped on a time axis.
