Abstract

Provided is a method for transmitting channel quality control information using two transport blocks in a wireless access system that supports hybrid automatic retransmit request (HARQ). The method may include the steps of receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal including downlink control information (DCI); calculating the number of coded symbols, Q′, required to transmit the channel quality control information using the DCI; and transmitting the channel quality control information through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the basis of the number of coded symbols.

Claims (343)

1. A method for transmitting channel quality control information (CQI) using two transport blocks in a wireless access system that supports hybrid automatic retransmit request (HARQ), the method comprising:
