Reception apparatus and method, program and reception system

摘要

Disclosed herein is a reception apparatus, including: a reception section configured to receive an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexed) signal obtained by modulating a common packet sequence configured from a packet common to a plurality of streams and a data packet sequence configured from packets individually unique to the plural streams; a buffer configured to accumulate packets of the common packet sequence and the data packet sequence obtained by demodulating the received OFDM signal; a retaining section configured to retain correction information for correcting out-of-synchronism between the common packet sequence and the data packet sequence obtained from particular packets of the common packet sequence and the data packet sequence upon reading out of the packets accumulated in the buffer; and a correction section configured to correct the out-of-synchronism of the packet which suffers from the out-of-synchronism of the packets based on the correction information retained in the retaining section.
