  • Patent number: 8520754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reception apparatus, including: a reception section adapted to receive an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signal obtained by modulating a first frame configured so as to include packets of a common packet sequence configured from a packet common to a plurality of streams and a second frame configured so as to include packets of a data packet sequence configured from packets individually unique to the plural streams; an acquisition section adapted to acquire specification information for specifying a combination of a first frame and a second frame obtained by demodulating the received OFDM signal; and a detection section adapted to detect a combination of a packet of the common packet sequence which configures the first frame and a packet of the data packet sequence which configures the second frame, whose combination is specified based on the acquired specification information.
