Provided is a method for estimating a Doppler frequency in a wireless communication system that operates in a millimeter wave (mmWave) bandwidth. A receiver implements a beam scanning process by using a plurality of preambles corresponding respectively to a plurality of beams to which mutually different beam forming is applied, and estimates a Doppler frequency for each of the plurality of beams. The plurality of preambles may correspond respectively to the beam forming directions of the plurality of beams.
