Patent ID: 8917683

Claim:
A method for, at a user equipment (UE), transmitting acknowledgement/negative ACK (ACK/NACK) in a wireless communication system in which carrier aggregation is configured, the method comprising: receiving information on a plurality of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources through higher layer signaling; receiving a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal on a primary carrier at a subframe, the first PDCCH signal including first resource allocation information and a first transmit power control (TPC) field; receiving one or more second PDCCH signals on one or more secondary carriers, respectively, at the subframe, wherein each of the one or more PDCCH signals includes second resource allocation information and a second TPC field; receiving first data indicated by the first resource allocation information in the first PDCCH signal on the primary carrier and second data indicated by the second resource allocation information in each of the one or more second PDCCH signals; and transmitting an ACK/NACK for the first data and the second data via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), wherein the value of the first TPC field indicates the transmit power level for the PUCCH, the value of the second TPC field identifies one of the plurality of PUCCH resources as the allocated PUCCH resource for transmitting the ACK/NACK for the first data and the second data, and if two or more second PDCCHs are received on two or more secondary carriers at the subframe, the value of the TPC field in all of the two or more second PDCCHs is the same.
