    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting control information and data in an SC-FDMA communication system. The method includes placing a reference signal onto one middle symbol among a plurality of symbols in one slot, wherein the one slot is one of two slots in one subframe; placing CQI information onto at least one symbol of other symbols except for the one middle symbol; placing the data onto the other symbols except for the one middle symbol; placing a HARQ-ACK onto two symbols, wherein the two symbols are directly adjacent to the one middle symbol; and transmitting a signal including the reference signal, the data, the CQI information, and the HARQ-ACK. The HARQ-ACK is placed onto a position of at least part of the data. The symbols are SC-FDMA symbols, the one middle symbol is a 4th symbol, the two symbols are a 3rd symbol and a 5th symbol.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for transmitting acknowledgement information in a communication system. A method includes receiving one or more data TBs in one or more downlink data channels over TTIs; generating acknowledgement information comprising four acknowledgement bits, jointly representing a state of reception results for the plurality of data TBs, if the UE is configured for reception of the downlink data channels from two cells, a number of the TTIs is three or four, and a number of the data TBs is greater than a number of the acknowledgement bits; generating acknowledgement information respectively representing a reception result for each data TB by a corresponding acknowledgement bit, if the UE is configured for reception of the downlink data channels from a single cell or two cells, and a number of the TTIs is one or two; encoding the acknowledgement bits; multiplexing the encoded acknowledgement bits with uplink data; and transmitting the multiplexed acknowledgement bits and the uplink data on an uplink data channel.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for multiplexing a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bit in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring configuration information on at least one offset for HARQ-ACK; determining a number of coded symbols for at least one HARQ-ACK bit based on one offset from among the at least one offset, wherein the one offset is identified according to a number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit; obtaining the at least one HARQ-ACK bit coded based on the number of coded symbols; and multiplexing the coded at least one HARQ-ACK bit in a PUSCH.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for transmitting acknowledgement information in a communication system. A method includes receiving one or more data TBs in one or more downlink data channels over TTIs; obtaining acknowledgement information comprising four acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}, jointly representing a state of reception results for a plurality of data TBs, wherein a number of the plurality of data TBs is greater than a number of the acknowledgement information bits, a UE is configured for reception of the one or more downlink data channels from two cells, and a number of the TTIs is three or four; Reed-Mueller (RM) encoding the acknowledgement information bits; and transmitting the RM encoded acknowledgement information bits on an uplink data channel. The state of reception results is represented as {NACK, any, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any, any} for a first cell and a second cell of the two cells, respectively, or is represented as {NACK, any, any} and {NACK/DTX, any, any} for the first cell and the second cell, respectively, by the acknowledgement information bits {0, 0, 0, 0}.
