In a communication system, information regarding a first modulation scheme applied to a frequency domain in a serving base station is received from the serving base station. A signal of the frequency domain is received. A second modulation scheme is set by estimating a modulation scheme applied to the frequency domain in at least one neighbor base station from the received signal. Channel state information is generated by estimating the received signal. An operation for selecting whether to use interference cancellation is performed using the channel state information, the first modulation scheme information and the second modulation scheme.
