Claim Text:
1. A method for providing feedback information on a processing structure, the method comprising: generating a set of input bits associated with the feedback information, wherein the feedback information comprises a plurality of acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) bits corresponding to a plurality of component carriers; encoding the set of input bits to create an encoded set of output bits; scrambling the encoded set of output bits using a scrambling sequence to create a set of scrambled output bits, wherein the scrambling sequence is derived as a function of at least one of the following: an identity of a wireless transmit and receive unit associated therewith or one or more cell identities; modulating the set of scrambled output bits to create a block of modulated symbols; applying a spreading code to the block of modulated symbols, wherein the spreading is applied after creating the block of modulated symbols, and wherein the spreading code is selected based on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource index; and transmitting the block spread modulated symbols corresponding to the ACK/NACK bits on a PUCCH.
