Claim:
A method of allocating response channel resources by a Node B in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: setting a User Equipment (UE) to feed back Acknowledgement (ACK)/Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) information in a Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode; setting a Transmit Power Control (TPC) field of a Physical Downlink Controlling Channel (PDCCH) message to transmit an ACK/NACK Resource Indicator (ARI) information, when a Downlink Assigning Indicator (DAI) value of the PDCCH message of a Secondary cell (Scell) scheduled in a non cross-carrier manner is 1; setting the TPC field to transmit a TPC command for the ACK/NACK feedback information, when the DAI value is greater than 1; and transmitting the PDCCH message and downlink data to the UE.
