Provided are a multi-step channel prediction apparatus and method for adaptive transmission in an OFDM/FDD system. A channel prediction is preformed considering a time-varying characteristic of a channel changing within one slot, in addition to feedback and processing delay time between a transmitter and a receiver, and an adaptive transmission is performed. Therefore, a target PER performance can be maintained without degradation of the system performance. The channel prediction apparatus includes: a primary channel prediction unit for predicting a channel to be generated before an L<SUP>th </SUP>OFDM symbol from an output of a channel estimation unit; a secondary channel prediction unit for predicting a channel to be generated before a 2L<SUP>th </SUP>OFDM symbol, based on a channel value predicted by the primary channel prediction unit and a measured channel value that is a reception channel value previously checked by a mobile station; and a channel information determination unit for determining if a channel characteristic during one slot period is monotone decreasing or monotone increasing, based on the outputs of the primary channel prediction unit and the secondary channel prediction unit, and transmitting corresponding channel status information (CSI) to the transmitter. By predicting the channel considering the channel time-varying characteristic and performing the adaptive transmission, a target QoS can be maintained in the case where the mobility is about 30 km/h, without loss of the system throughput performance.
