The present disclosure relates to a communication technique and a system thereof for fusing, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a beyond 4G system. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related services, etc.). The present disclosure relates to a method for receiving downlink data of a terminal in a wireless communication system, and suggests a method and an apparatus for receiving downlink data, the method comprising: a step for checking a transmission parameter regarding data being transmitted from an interference cell; a step for determining, on the basis of the transmission parameter, whether or not an interference signal exists; a step for determining, on the basis of any one of the transmission parameter and the determination on whether or not an interference signal exists, whether or not network assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) technology is applied; and a step for decoding the downlink data on the basis of the determination on whether or not the NAICS technology is applied.
