The present invention relates to a wireless communication system; and more specially, to a method and apparatus for transmitting extended uplink acknowledgement information in a wireless communication system. A method for receiving uplink acknowledgement information from a base station according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: allocating a plurality of uplink acknowledgement transmission resources to each of at least one terminal; and receiving, by one uplink sub-frame, uplink acknowledgement information from the at least one terminal through at least one of the plurality of uplink acknowledgement transmission resources, wherein each of the plurality of uplink acknowledgement transmission resources is allocated, differently from each other, with at least one of the following: resource block (RB), a first cyclic shift (CS), a second CS, a first orthogonal spreading code (OC) and a second OC.
