A method for mapping wireless resources of reference symbols for channel state estimation and modulation symbols for user information transmission in a transmitter of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) mobile communication system is disclosed. The mapping method includes channel-encoding and modulating a user information stream to be transmitted, and then generating a systematic symbol stream and a parity symbol stream; and preferentially arranging systematic modulation symbols in resource elements of a symbol including no reference symbol, and then arranging parity modulation symbols in remaining resource elements.
