A method for canceling interference between multiple terminals scheduled on the same time/frequency resource for communication between a terminal and a base station using a plurality of antennas. The interference cancellation method includes receiving, at a terminal, control channel information from a base station, determining other base station information and other terminal information based on the received control channel information, receiving a data channel from the base station, and cancelling interference to the data channel based on the other base station information and other terminal information. The terminal is capable of mitigating interference caused by the signals transmitted to other terminals using the least information even with legacy terminal receivers having no interference cancellation capability.
