A method for transmitting control information in uplink from a mobile terminal to a base station in a wireless mobile communication system is provided. In the method, when no data to be transmitted to the base station is present in the mobile terminal, Scheduling Request (SR) information and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) information having a predetermined size or greater are multiplexed together and the multiplexed information is transmitted to the base station through a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH). This method prevents waste of uplink transmission resources while avoiding uplink data transmission delay.
