Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting uplink channel information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a channel information configuration message allocating two channel quality indicator channel (CQICH)s; generating an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) band bitmap indicating at least one AMC band selected from a plurality of AMC bands, the AMC band bitmap having a first payload size; transmitting the AMC band bitmap with a first transmission period through the two CQICHs; and transmitting a channel quality indicator (CQI) and precoding matrix index (PMI), based on the AMC band bitmap, with a second transmission period which is shorter than the first transmission period, through the two CQICHs, wherein when a transmission time of the AMC band bitmap is collided to a transmission time of the CQI, only the AMC band bitmap is transmitted through the two CQICH and wherein when the first payload size is larger than the a payload size which can be transmitted through a single CQICH among the two CQICHs, the AMC band bitmap is divided into two divided AMC band bitmaps such that each of the divided AMC band bitmaps has a second payload size, the second payload size having equal or less bits size than the payload size of the single CQICH and the two divided AMC band bitmaps are transmitted through the two CQICHs.
