The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for transmitting data in a transmitting apparatus in a wireless communication system supporting a non-binary channel code is provided. The method includes generating at least one modulation symbol by modulating at least one code symbol based on a predetermined modulation scheme; and transmitting the at least one modulation symbol to a receiving apparatus, wherein the generating of the at least one modulation symbol comprises generating the at least one modulation symbol from the at least one code symbol to thereby reduce a number of complex modulation symbols generated from a plurality of code symbols.
