Claim:
1. A method for, at a user equipment (UE), transmitting control information through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: joint-coding a plurality of control information to generate N dividing the N transmitting a first set of discrete-Fourier-transformed signals through a first set of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols in a first slot, each of the first set of discrete-Fourier-transformed signals including the first set of consecutive N transmitting a second set of discrete-Fourier-transformed signals through a second set of SC-FDMA symbols in a second slot, each of the first set of discrete-Fourier-transformed signals including the second set of consecutive N wherein the first set of SC-FDMA symbols is covered by a first code, and the second set of SC-FDMA symbols is covered by a second code, and wherein the length of the first code is fixed irrespective of the number of the SC-FDMA symbols for the PUCCH transmission, and the length of the second code is varied according to the number of SC-FDMA symbols for PUCCH transmission.
