A communication device that generates a modulated signal with 32 QAM includes a modulator, a first encoder and a second encoder. The modulator generates a modulated signal by mapping each symbol in a data frame that includes transmission data, a first code, and a second code to a signal point among 32 QAM signal points. The first encoder encodes the data by using a first coding scheme to generate the first code. The second encoder encodes, by using a second coding scheme, a bit string formed from one specified bit in five bits allocated to each symbol in the data frame to generate the second code. The modulator performs mapping such that each pair of signal points adjacent to each other are arranged are different from each other in terms of a value of the one specified bit among the five bits.
