A communication method and an apparatus for transferring interference-related control information in order to enhance reception performance of a user terminal that receives downlink signals in a cellular mobile communication system based on a long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) system are provided. The method includes receiving transmission parameters of interference, which include information on a resource by which interference data is not transmitted, performing blind detection using the information on a resource by which interference data is not transmitted, performing error correction encoding using the transmission parameters of the interference and the blind detection result, and decoding the received data.
