Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5 th -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). The present disclosure is for transmitting an uplink control signal in a wireless communication system, an operating method of a terminal comprises receiving information notifying an indication scheme relating to a carrier for transmission of uplink control information and receiving subcarrier for the transmission of the uplink control information according to the indication scheme.

receiving, from the base station, information on a carrier indicating mode determined based on the capability information;

identifying whether the carrier indicating mode is a carrier dynamic indicating mode;

transmitting, to the base station, information on a channel measurement for at least one carrier supported by the terminal;

receiving, from the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message for configuring the uplink carrier and the auxiliary uplink carrier, wherein the RRC message includes information on a first subcarrier spacing of the uplink carrier and information on a second subcarrier spacing of the auxiliary uplink carrier;

receiving, from the base station, the DCI including an indication indicating at least one of the uplink carrier or the auxiliary uplink carrier for a transmission carrier, wherein the indication is determined based on the information on the channel measurement;

identifying a DCI format based on the carrier dynamic indicating mode and the received DCI;

decoding the identified DCI format including information on the transmission carrier;

identifying a subcarrier spacing corresponding to the transmission carrier based on the RRC message; and

transmitting, to the base station, an uplink signal via the uplink carrier or the auxiliary uplink carrier for the transmission carrier indicated by the DCI, based on the identified subcarrier spacing corresponding to the transmission carrier.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving timing information including a size of bit field for indicating an acknowledge (ACK) timing.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the size of bit field for indicating the ACK timing is determined based on the subcarrier spacing corresponding to the transmission carrier.

4. A method for operating a base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:
