According to one embodiment, a reception processing device receives and stores a data packet and a quality enhancement packet. The device includes a third storage unit that stores association between the quality enhancement packet stored in a second storage unit and the data packet stored in a first storage unit, and a fourth storage unit that stores, at each quality enhancement processing, a processing state representing at least one of an interim result and a final result in the quality enhancement processing. The device performs the quality enhancement processing using redundant data included in the quality enhancement packet and the data packet identified by the association and associated with the quality enhancement packet, stores, in the fourth storage unit, the processing state representing the interim result of the operation when interrupting the quality enhancement processing, and resumes the quality enhancement processing by using the processing state.
