The preamble phase compensator receives a channel estimation result for pilot subcarriers of a data symbol and a preamble channel estimation result from the estimation buffer, acquires a phase rotation value between them, and compensates the preamble channel estimation result with the phase rotation value. When FCH and DL-MAP are demodulated, pilot subcarriers in the Nth PUSC symbol have been used to estimate the channel of the Nth PUSC symbol.

Accordingly, it is possible to reduce error propagation caused by the incorrect estimation and detection of the interference signal. In addition, time delay for detecting/restoring/removing the interference signal does not occur. Moreover, the increase of additional buffers can be prevented. Consequently, the increase of hardware complexity can be prevented.
