Abstract
To enable a communication apparatus, which transmits and receives data with a partially reconfigurable logic circuit, to configure a module while continuing a communication process. A communication apparatus transmits and receives data and includes a partially reconfigurable logic circuit and a management unit for managing a circuit configuration of the logic circuit. The logic circuit includes a plurality of modules and a data distribution unit. The management unit fixedly arranges a plurality of coupling interfaces, which are used for sending data to a module determined as a distribution destination of data by the data distribution unit and which are respectively linkable to the plurality of modules, at prescribed positions on the logic circuit, and creates the module in the partially reconfigurable area of the logic circuit so as to be linked to any of the plurality of coupling interfaces.
