Method and apparatus for receiving shuffled data in high-rate packet data telecommunication system

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for receiving the shuffling dat in a communication system are provided to recover the original code-word sequence by de-shuffling it at the receiving terminal in a high speed. CONSTITUTION: A method for receiving the shuffling dat in a communication system includes the steps of: outputting the demodulation symbols consisting of a plurality of code-word symbols by demodulating the received data in response to a predetermined modulation method; storing the code-word symbols in response to the de-shuffling order corresponding to the shuffling; and outputting the coded packets having a previously determined size by decoding in response to the predetermined decode rate to read the stored code symbols.
