An apparatus and method for receiving data in a communication system are provided. The method includes identifying first codewords, which have been used in transmission of data by a transmitter, in the data received from the transmitter, setting third codewords by adding second codewords to the identified first codewords, calculating correlation values of orthogonal vectors corresponding to the third codewords and detecting information included in the data based on the calculated correlation values. Accordingly, feedback information may be better received and detected.
