Abstract

A wireless communication system is disclosed. More particularly, disclosed herein are a method including receiving downlink scheduling information on a PDCCH, the downlink scheduling information comprising resource indication information (RI), selecting a first PUCCH resource set from among a plurality of PUCCH resource sets based on a size of the control information, and transmitting the control information using a PUCCH resource corresponding to the RI in the first PUCCH resource set, wherein, when a control information size supported by the first PUCCH resource set is less than or equal to X (>=1) bits, the PUCCH resource is determined using one of a first scheme and a second scheme, and wherein, when the control information size supported by the first PUCCH resource set is greater than X bits, the PUCCH resource is determined using only the second scheme, and an apparatus therefor.
