A method of equalizing received packet data in a bus topology network, including: receiving, by a receiver of a second node, a first packet from a first node in a bus topology network in which two or more nodes are connected via a bus; setting, by the receiver, an equalizer coefficient of an equalizer using a first training sequence of the first packet and storing the set equalizer coefficient; receiving, by the receiver, a second packet including a second training sequence shorter than the first training sequence from the first node; and equalizing, by the receiver, the second packet using the stored equalizer coefficient.
