1. A communication device comprising:

  • a communication interface; and

    a processor, at least one of the processor or the communication interface configured to;

    select a blended modulation from a plurality of blended modulations based on a desired energy per bit to noise spectral density ratio (Eb/N0) or symbol to noise spectral density ratio (Es/N0), wherein each of the plurality of blended modulations has a different respective energy per bit to noise spectral density ratio (Eb/N0) or symbol to noise spectral density ratio (Es/N0) than other of the plurality of blended modulations, wherein the blended modulation is a combination of at least two modulations, and wherein each of the at least two modulations includes a respective set of bit labels for a respective set of constellation points therein;

    map a plurality of bits to the blended modulation to generate a modulation symbol; and

    transmit the modulation symbol to another communication device.
