Patent ID: 8483150

Claim:
A method of transmitting an uplink control signal, by a user equipment, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving pieces of resource allocation information on a plurality of uplink control channels from a base station, the plurality of uplink control channels comprising a feedback channel and a bandwidth request channel; allocating a feedback region of a frequency partition to the feedback channel and a bandwidth request region of the frequency partition to the bandwidth request channel based on the resource allocation information; allocating a data region of the frequency partition to a data channel; and transmitting the uplink control signal to the base station through at least one of the plurality of uplink control channels, wherein the resource allocation information includes a frequency partition location for the plurality of uplink control channels, wherein the resource allocation information further includes a size of the feedback region, wherein an allocation order of the plurality of uplink control channels and the data channel are the feedback channel, the bandwidth request channel and the data channel, wherein an index of a logical resource unit allocated to the feedback channel is less than an index of a logical resource unit allocated to the bandwidth request channel, and wherein an index of a logical resource unit allocated to the bandwidth request channel is less than an index of a logical resource unit allocated to the data channel.
