A reception apparatus including a tuner and circuitry is provided. The tuner is configured to receive a transmission frame. The circuitry is configured to detect a last symbol of a first part of the transmission frame. The circuitry is configured to extract first signaling information, from the last symbol of the first part of the transmission frame, to decode a second part of the transmission frame. The circuitry is configured to remove a guard interval of a symbol of the second part of the transmission frame based on the guard interval indicated by the first signaling information. The circuitry is further configured to recover payload data from a third part of the transmission frame based on second signaling information included in the second part of the transmission frame. The first part is a bootstrap portion, the second part is a preamble portion, and the third part is a payload portion.
