Abstract  Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat-request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback information in an enhanced carrier aggregation system. A user equipment (UE) determines the number of HARQ-ACK feedback information bits that the UE needs to transmit in an uplink subframe and determines the number of uplink control information (UCI) bits to be transmitted in the uplink subframe based on the number of the HARQ-ACK feedback information bits the number of channel state information (CSI) bits and the number of scheduling request (SR) bits that need to be transmitted in the uplink subframe and transmitting the UCI according to the PUCCH format and the resource for transmission of PUCCH determined. With the present disclosure UCI information may be transmitted using different formats in different PUCCH formats.
