Disclosed is a method for transmitting/receiving a downlink signal for improving a reception capability of a mobile station in a communication system. In the method, downlink signals are transmitted such that a downlink signal having a first Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level applied thereto is first transmitted, and then the downlink signals are transmitted in a sequence in which a downlink signal having an MCS level showing a smallest difference between its MCS level and the first MCS level is transmitted prior to remaining downlink signals.
