transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) as feedback for the one or more PDSCHs,
wherein, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected only on the first cell set, the HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK responses only for the first cell set and is transmitted using a channel selection scheme and, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected at least on the second cell set, the HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK responses for both the first and second cell sets, and
wherein the channel selection scheme includes selecting one of PUCCH resources, and transmitting 2 bits corresponding to a set of HARQ-ACK responses for the PCell and the first SCell using the selected PUCCH resource.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected only on the first cell set, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted using a first PUCCH format and, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected at least on the second cell set, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted using a second PUCCH format, and a payload size of the second PUCCH format is greater than a payload size of the first PUCCH format.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1b.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a transmit power control (TPC) field of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to a PDSCH detected in an SCell in the first cell set is used to indicate power control information and a TPC field of a PDCCH corresponding to a PDSCH detected in an SCell in the second cell set is used to indicate PUCCH resource indication information.
5. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
detect one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) on a plurality of cells, the plural cells being divided into a first cell set including a primary cell (PCell) and a first secondary cell (SCell) and a second cell set including one or more second SCells, and
transmit hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) as feedback for the one or more PDSCHs,
wherein, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected only on the first cell set, the HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK responses only for the first cell set and is transmitted using a channel selection scheme and, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected at least on the second cell set, the HARQ-ACK information includes HARQ-ACK responses for both the first and second cell sets, and
wherein the channel selection scheme includes selecting one of PUCCH resources, and transmitting 2 bits corresponding to a set of HARQ-ACK responses for the PCell and the first SCell using the selected PUCCH resource.
6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected only on the first cell set, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted using a first PUCCH format and, when the one or more PDSCHs are detected at least on the second cell set, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted using a second PUCCH format, and a payload size of the second PUCCH format is greater than a payload size of the first PUCCH format.
7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first the first PUCCH format is PUCCH format 1b.
8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein a transmit power control (TPC) field of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to a PDSCH detected in an SCell in the first cell set is used to indicate power control information and a TPC field of a PDCCH corresponding to a PDSCH detected in an SCell in the second cell set is used to indicate PUCCH resource indication information.
