Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and devices for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) having a large payload size in a carrier aggregation environment. The method for transmitting the UCI having a large sized payload in a wireless access system, as an embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: finding the number of first resource elements allocated to channel quality information (CQI) information to be included in the UCI; finding the number of second resource elements allocated to a rank indicator (RI) information to be included in the UCI; finding the coding rate of data transmitted with the UCI, considering the number of the first resource elements and the number of the second resource elements; finding the number of third resource elements allocated to all of the UCI, on the basis of the coding rate of the data; and multiplexing to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and sending to a base station the UCI, on the basis of the number of the third resource elements.
