Abstract

The present invention relates to a digital signal reception method and apparatus. Said digital signal receiver comprises a Common Phase Error removal unit for eliminating CPE contained in the received signal by using CSI corrected pilot sub-carriers; a channel estimation unit for estimating channel state information of the received signal after removing the CPE and feed the CSI to the CPE removal unit, and a means for generating the CSI corrected pilot sub-carriers by multiplying the CSI with 1 or −1 according to positive or negative sign of the local pilot sub-carriers only in response to continual pilots of the received signal. Said method comprises estimating the CSI of the received digital signal after removing CPE; and eliminating the CPE of the received signal by using the CSI corrected pilot sub-carriers, whereby a low complexity and high accuracy are achieved.
