Abstract:
1. A user device for a mobile communication system employing a multicarrier scheme, the user device comprising: a control signal generating unit generating a control signal; a data signal generating unit generating a data signal; and a transmitting unit transmitting the control signal and the data signal to a base station, wherein the control signal is mapped to multiple frequency bands that are provided throughout a time period of a subframe but are separated from each other in a frequency domain; wherein the control signal is two-dimensionally spread by a spreading code both in a time domain and in the frequency domain, wherein the data signal is mapped to multiple frequency bands provided separately from the frequency bands for the control signal, wherein the frequency bands for the data signal are provided throughout the time period of the subframe but are separated from each other in the frequency domain, wherein each of the frequency bands for the control signal and the data signal includes subcarriers used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, wherein the subframe includes a first number of pilot transmission periods for transmitting a pilot channel and a second number of information transmission periods for transmitting information other than the pilot channel, wherein OFDM symbols are used to transmit information other than the pilot channel where each OFDM symbol includes the same CAZAC code sequence and the entire CAZAC code sequence in a first OFDM symbol is multiplied by modulation data where the modulation data is representative of acknowledgment information for a downlink data channel; wherein the control signal is transmitted in each of the second number of information transmission periods, and wherein the control signal is multiplied by a spreading code having a sequence length that equals the second number, wherein the control signal transmits control information comprising of at least uplink L1/L2 control information, acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information for a data channel transmitted via downlink, and a channel quality indicator (CQI) indicating downlink channel conditions.
