The present invention relates to a method of detecting an access address of a physical channel in a Bluetooth signal to which channel coding is applied, the method including: performing initial signal processing in a unit of a specific length in a preamble section of a Bluetooth signal; and performing channel decoding in the specific length for a preamble part remained after the initial signal processing, wherein the specific length is a bit pattern length of a bitstream which is repeated in the preamble section or a length of a bitstream input for channel decoding. According to the present invention, channel decoding is performed in a unit of a bit pattern length of an access address from the remaining preamble part, and thus detection of the access address is available even though a start point of the access address is not provided.
