Method and apparatus for transferring channel information in OFDM communications

A method and apparatus for transferring channel information in OFDM communications are provided. In the channel information transmission apparatus, a receiving portion includes a prefix remover removing a prefix, attached to the OFDM signal in order to overcome channel fading, from an OFDM signal received from a transmission portion, a fast Fourier transformer transforming a received time domain signal from which the prefix has been removed into a frequency domain signal, a channel measurer extracting a channel value from the frequency region signal obtained by the fast Fourier transformer, a compensator compensating for the output signal of the fast Fourier transformer using the channel value obtained by the channel measurer, a parallel-to-serial converter converting a compensated parallel signal received from the compensator into a serial signal, and a signal processor processing the channel value measured by the channel measurer in order to transmit signal-processed data to the transmission portion.
