Patent ID: 8867548

Claim:
A method of transmitting, by a user equipment, uplink control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining, by the user equipment, an acknowledgement (ACK)/negative ACK (NACK) for each of a plurality of carriers configured for the user equipment; generating, by the user equipment, ACK/NACK information for the plurality of carriers based on the determined ACK/NACKs for the plurality of carriers; modulating, by the user equipment, the ACK/NACK information into a modulation symbol ‘1’, ‘j’, ‘−1’ or ‘j’; and transmitting, by the user equipment, the modulation symbol by using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource reserved for a scheduling request of the user equipment, wherein the ACK/NACK information is modulated into a first modulation symbol ‘1’ when ACK/NACK for a specific carrier among the plurality of carriers is determined to be ACK and ACK/NACK for the remaining carriers other than the specific carrier is determined to be NACK, and the ACK/NACK information is modulated into a second modulation symbol ‘−1’ when the ACK/NACK for the specific carrier is determined to be NACK and the ACK/NACK for the remaining carriers other than the specific carrier is determined to be NACK.
