Provided are an apparatus for receiving signals in an OFDM communication system using multiple transmission/reception antennas and a method thereof. The method includes modulating a predetermined part of a data stream based on a multi-dimensional reception procedure to generate a first modulated data stream; regenerating a symbol corresponding to the modulated data stream; eliminating the regenerated symbol from a remained data stream; modulating the eliminated data stream to generate a second modulated data stream; and outputting an output signal obtained by serializing the first modulated data stream and the second modulated data stream.
