An SC-FDMA transmission device capable of achieving excellent error rate characteristics on any propagation channel, wherein a determination unit (151) determines the ratio of the frequency puncturing amount to the time puncturing amount in the total puncturing amount on the basis of a puncturing determination rule, and a setting unit (152) sets the time puncturing amount and the frequency puncturing amount on the basis of this ratio. Here, in the puncturing determination rule, the ratio is determined from the MCS of the encoded data, the number of resources allocated to the encoded data, and the delay spread of the propagation channel between a receiving device and the transmission device (100).
