Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) with user equipment in a wireless communication system. The user equipment performs channel coding on information bits of UCI to generate encoded information bits; modulates the generated encoded information bits to generate complex modulation symbols; spreads the complex modulation symbols blockwise into a plurality of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols on the basis of an orthogonal sequence; and transmits the spread complex modulation symbols to a base station.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) by a user equipment on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: performing channel coding on information bits of the UCI to generate encoded information bits, wherein the information bits of the UCI include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-ACK(acknowledgement) information bits for serving cells, and wherein a number of information bits…
