The present invention provides a method and apparatus 200 for phase tracking coherent detection in a communication system. The method provides receiving a waveform which carries information including both phase reference information and data information. The received waveform is phase-rotated by a phase offset estimate. Phase reference information and data information is extracted from the phase-rotated received waveform. A phase offset estimate is calculated based on the extracted phase reference information, extracted data information, and the received waveform. The apparatus 200 provides a phase rotator 206 for phase-rotating an received waveform by an input phase offset estimate. A data detector 210 is provided which extracts phase reference information and data information from the phase-rotated version of the received waveform. A phase correction angle calculator 214 is provided to calculate the phase offset estimate based on the extracted phase reference information, the extracted data information, and the received waveform.
