1. A method for eliminating an interference signal of a transmitter in a communications system, the method comprising:
transmitting at least one first user signal to at least one receiver;
receiving user phase information of the at least one first user signal and interference phase information of the interference signal from the at least one receiver;
modulating data to at least one second user signal with Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK);
changing the user phase information of the at least one first user signal to be separated from the interference phase information of the interference signal by a preset phase difference for the at least one receiver to eliminate the interference signal based on the user phase information and the interference phase information; and
transmitting the at least one second user signal according to the changed user phase information to the at least one receiver,

calculating a rotation value for making the preset phase difference between the user phase information and the interference phase information to be 90°; and
changing the user phase information based on the calculated rotation value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a phase of the at least one second user signal is rotated in complex space.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, if the user phase information and the interference phase information are received from a plurality of receivers, changing the user phase information comprises normalizing respective user phase information into a single value, and
wherein the rotation value is calculated for making a phase difference of the single value and one of the respective interference phase information to be 90°, if a separation value of the interference phase information is a critical value or less.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the rotation value is calculated for making a phase difference of the single value and a mean value of the respective interference phase information to be 90°, if the separation value of the interference phase information exceeds the critical value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the rotation value is calculated for making a phase difference of the single value and the respective interference phase information to be 45°, if a phase difference of the respective interference phase information is 90°.

6. A method for eliminating an interference signal of a receiver in a communications system, the method comprising:
receiving at least one first user signal from a transmitter and the interference signal from another transmitter;
detecting user phase information of the at least one first user signal and interference phase information of the interference signal;
feeding the user phase information and the interference phase information back to the transmitter;
receiving, from the transmitter, at least one second user signal according to changed user phase information changed from the user phase information by the transmitter based on the user phase information and the interference phase information, wherein the changed user phase information is to separate the user phase information from the interference phase information of the interference signal by a preset phase difference, upon receiving the user phase information and the interference phase information, wherein the at least one second user signal is modulated with Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK); and
eliminating the interference signal based on the changed user phase information received from the transmitter,
wherein the changed user phase information is determined based on a rotation value calculated for making the preset phase difference between the user phase information and the interference phase information to be 90°.
