    Abstract: Disclosed are a user detection technique, and a method and apparatus for channel estimation in a wireless communication system supporting massive multiple-input multiple-output. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a superimposed signal including a transmission signal of at least one user equipment (UE) from among a plurality of user equipments, wherein each transmission signal includes a pilot signal of a corresponding user equipment; calculating a sample covariance matrix from the received superimposed signal by using the number of antennas of a base station and a pilot signal matrix of the at least one user equipment; calculating a likelihood function indicating the likelihood probability of the received superimposed signal, on the basis of the number of antennas of the base station and the received superimposed signal; detecting a user index set indicating whether or not the plurality of user equipments have transmitted signals, by using the calculated likelihood function and sample covariance matrix; and performing channel estimation of the at least one user equipment that is transmitting the signal, on the basis of the detected user index set.
