The disclosure provides a method for transmitting uplink control signaling, which includes: respectively performing, on the uplink control signaling, channel coding, scrambling, modulation, time-domain spreading and precoding transform; or respectively performing, on the uplink control signaling, channel coding, scrambling, modulation, precoding transform and time-domain spreading; and mapping the uplink control signaling to an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol used for bearing the uplink control signaling; and transmitting the uplink control signaling that is borne in the OFDM symbol. The disclosure also provides a method for bearing a demodulation reference signal during transmission of uplink control signaling, which includes: bearing the uplink demodulation reference signal in k OFDM symbols in a sub-frame. The disclosure also discloses apparatuses for respectively implementing the methods above. The technical solutions of the disclosure effectively solve the problem that the uplink control signaling is transmitted using a structure of Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM).
