Multiplexing control and data information from a user equipment in a physical data channel

A method for receiving a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bit in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

• identifying information on at least one offset for HARQ-ACK;
• receiving at least one HARQ-ACK bit in the PUSCH;
• and
• demultiplexing the received at least one HARQ-ACK bit in the PUSCH,
• wherein a number of coded symbols for the at least one HARQ-ACK bit is determined based on a number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit and one offset of the at least one offset,
• wherein the one offset is identified according to the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit,
• wherein the at least one HARQ-ACK bit is decoded based on a (32,O) block code, O being the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit, and
• wherein the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit is obtained, based on a number of cells and a number of transport blocks for each of the cells.

An apparatus for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bit in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• acquire information on at least one offset for HARQ-ACK;
• obtain a number of at least one HARQ-ACK bit, based on the number of cells and a number of transport block for each of the cells;
• determine a number of coded symbols for the at least one HARQ-ACK bit, based on the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit and one offset of the at least one offset, wherein the one offset is identified according to the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit;
• obtain coded HARQ-ACK bits based on a (32,O) block code, wherein O is the number of the at least one HARQ-ACK bit;
• and
• transmit the coded HARQ-ACK bits in the PUSCH, based on the number of coded symbols for the at least one HARQ-ACK bit.
