Abstract

A technology enabling a base station to transmit acknowledgement (ACK)/negative ACK (NACK) information about data received from a terminal is provided. A cyclic shift value difference of each terminal may be maximized and a radio resource for transmitting the ACK/NACK information may be assigned without collision.

Claims (236)

1. A method of receiving acknowledgement (ACK) or negative ACK (NACK) information about data transmitted to a base station in a terminal of a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving cyclic shift information for reference signal from the base station;

transmitting, to the base station, the data and a reference signal having a cyclic shift value, the cyclic shift value being determined based on a dynamic cyclic shift value mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal, wherein the cyclic shift information for the reference signal is mapped one-to-one to the dynamic cyclic shift value according to Table 1; and

receiving, from the base station, ACK or NACK information about the transmitted data through a radio resource of a downlink channel, the radio resource of the downlink channel being identified based on a modifier mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal

transmitting cyclic shift information for reference signal to a terminal;

receiving, from the terminal, the data and a reference signal having a cyclic shift value, the cyclic shift value being determined based on a dynamic cyclic shift value mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal, wherein the cyclic shift information for the reference signal is mapped one-to-one to the dynamic cyclic shift value, according to Table 3; and

transmitting, to the terminal, ACK or NACK information about the received data through a radio resource of a downlink channel, the radio resource of the downlink channel being identified based on a modifier mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal
