Disclosed is a bit-symbol mapping method using multi-pulse position modulation (MPPM), which relevant to the field of signal processing. An index of each dimension of an N-order M-dimensional matrix may be a pulse position number of a MPPM(N, M) symbol. The method includes mapping integers to a super-triangular area of the N-order M-dimensional matrix and establishing a correlation between the integers and the N-order M-dimensional matrix elements. In this way, a correspondence between a bit sequence and a MPPM(N, M) symbol is established using a correspondence between the N-order M-dimensional matrix element and an index number of each dimension of the N-order M-dimensional matrix element. A mathematical expression of the number of integers mapped to each layer in each dimension of a super-triangular area of an N-order M-dimensional matrix is used to generate a lookup table TLUT.
