Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting an ACK/NACK (acknowledgement/negative ACK) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system which supports carrier aggregation, the method comprising: detecting one or more control channels from a plurality of component carriers; receiving one or more data indicated by downlink control information carried on the one or more control channels; and transmitting ACK/NACK information related to the one or more data via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), wherein each of the downlink control information includes count information indicating a total number of all the control channels actually allocated to the UE, wherein, if a discontinuous transmission (DTX) is detected based on the total number and a number of the one or more control channels, the PUCCH is transmitted using a first PUCCH resource indicated by a radio resource control (RRC) signal, and wherein, if no DTX is detected based on the total number and the number of the one or more control channels, the PUCCH is transmitted using a second PUCCH resource indicated by a control channel element index of a last control channel among the one or more control channels.
