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 node B in a communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting a configuration of a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells being associated with one or two transport blocks;
• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), HARQ-ACK bits in the PUSCH;
• and
• decoding the HARQ-ACK bits,
• wherein the HARQ-ACK bits for the plurality of cells are arranged based on an order of cell indexes and an order of transport block indexes,
• wherein 2 HARQ-ACK bits for a cell configured with 2 transport blocks are included in the arranged HARQ-ACK bits, and
• wherein the HARQ-ACK bits are decoded by a (32, O) block code in case that a number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits is 3, O being the number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits.

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:
• receive a configuration of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells being associated with one or more transport blocks;
• arrange HARQ-ACK bits for the plurality of cells, based on an order of cell indexes and an order of transport block indexes;
• encode the arranged HARQ-ACK bits;
• and
• transmit, to a node B, the encoded arranged HARQ-ACK bits in the PUSCH,
• wherein 2 HARQ-ACK bits for a cell configured with 2 transport blocks are included in the arranged HARQ-ACK bits, and
• wherein the arranged HARQ-ACK bits are encoded by a (32, O) block code in case that a number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits is 3, O being the number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits.
