Abstract
The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method that enable efficient data transmission. When a reception apparatus including a processing unit that, when a transmission signal including transmission data is received, processes the transmission signal including a pilot signal on which layered division multiplexing (LDM) has been performed, and demodulates a part of the transmission data included in a second layer which is different from a first layer including the pilot signal, it is possible to efficiently perform data transmission using the pilot signal. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a broadcasting system compatible with a broadcasting method such as ISDB-T, ATSC, and the like.
