Patent ID: 8924451

Claim:
A reception apparatus, comprising: circuitry including: a first equalization section adapted to carry out a first equalization of a first signal which represents data transmitted by a transmission method which uses a single carrier; a second equalization section adapted to carry out a second equalization of a second signal which represents data transmitted by a transmission method which uses multi carriers; and an arithmetic operation section adapted to: carry out, when the first signal is received by the circuitry, a first arithmetic operation for determining first information to be used for the first equalization using a signal in the time domain of the first signal, and output the first information to the first equalization section, and carry out, when the second signal is received by the circuitry, a second arithmetic operation for determining second information to be used for the second equalization using a signal in the frequency domain of the second signal, and output the second information to the second equalization section, wherein the first equalization section carries out the first equalization based on the first information, and the second equalization section carries out the second equalization based on the second information.
