Patent ID: 7912133

Claim:
A method of transmitting a first uplink signal and a second uplink signal, wherein the first uplink signal includes data and the second uplink signal includes both data and control information, the method comprising: channel encoding with a channel encoding device the control information of the second uplink signal based on a number of symbols of the control information to produce first channel encoded control information, wherein the number of symbols of control information is determined to satisfy the expression: M X = ⌈ N X · β X · M RE P ⁢ ⁢ U ⁢ ⁢ S ⁢ ⁢ C ⁢ ⁢ H N data ⌉ ⁢ ⁢ where M X is the number of the symbols of the control information, N X is a payload size of the control information, β X is an offset value, N data is a payload size of the data of the first uplink signal, M RE PUSCH is a size of resources per subframe for a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission of the first uplink signal, and “┌ ┐” denotes a ceiling function.
