Patent ID: 8406148

Claim:
A method of transmitting control information through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) without data, wherein the control information includes acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) information, the method comprising: channel encoding the ACK/NACK information based on a number of encoded symbols of the ACK/NACK information to produce channel encoded ACK/NACK information, wherein the number of encoded symbols of the ACK/NACK information is determined to be either a value of the following equation or a specific value if the value of the following equation is greater than the specific value: ⌈ N A / N · β offset · M RE PUSCH N CQI ⌉ , where N A/N is an ACK/NACK information size, β offset is an offset value, N CQI is an information size related to channel quality information (CQI), M RE PUSCH is a size of resources for the PUSCH transmission, and “┌ ┐” denotes a ceiling function.
