Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting uplink control information when a plurality of cells including a primary cell and a secondary cell is configured in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: selecting a PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) resource corresponding to a plurality of HARQ ACKs (Hybrid Automatic Repeat request-Acknowledgements) from a plurality of PUCCH resources for PUCCH format 1b; and transmitting a complex value corresponding to the plurality of HARQ-ACKs using the selected PUCCH resource, wherein the plurality of HARQ-ACKs, PUCCH resources and bit values have the relationship represented by the following table, wherein HARQ-ACKs(0) and (1) indicate ACK(A)/NACK(N)/DTX(D) responses to data block(s) on a MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) cell, HARQ-ACK(2) indicates an ACK(A)/NACK(N)/DTX(D) response to a data block on a non-MIMO cell, PUCCH resources #1 and #2 represent PUCCH resources linked to the MIMO cell for PUCCH format 1b, and PUCCH resource #3 represents a PUCCH resource linked to the non-MIMO cell for PUCCH format 1b.
