Disclosed are a receiving apparatus, a data receiving method, a channel estimating apparatus and a channel estimating method for multi-user interference (MUI) signals according to the present invention. The channel estimating apparatus for MUI signals has: a user type determining section configured to determine whether a UE apparatus corresponding to an own station belongs to a first type user or a second type user and to determine demodulation information to use in channel estimation of MUI signals based on the type of the UE apparatus corresponding to the own station; and a second channel estimating section configured to perform channel estimation of a multi-user interference signal based on the determined demodulation information to use in channel estimation of MUI signals. In the present invention, the UE apparatus is classified by type and the demodulation information to use in channel estimation of MUI signals is determined based on the type of the UE apparatus. With this structure, it is possible to improve channel estimation accuracy and further to improve the performance of data reception and user and cell throughputs.
