## Abstract

A symbol mapping method for repetition coding is disclosed. The symbol mapping method comprises performing repetition coding on codeword to output repeated codeword symbols, and mapping the repeated codeword symbols with subcarriers located in different localized resource blocks. According to the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to obtain maximum reliability in a receiving side by mapping codeword bits with subcarriers to reduce the number of bits having low reliability when a transmitting side uses repetition coding. Also, it is possible to improve decoding throughput and obtain channel diversity.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for transmitting control information using time-frequency resources in a mobile communication system employing repetition coding, the method comprising:
performing repetition coding on the control channel bit in order to output a control channel codeword including a plurality of the control channel bits at a base station;
performing modulation on each of the plurality of the control channel bits in order to output a corresponding each of a plurality of control channel modulation symbols; and
transmitting the plurality of control channel modulation symbols using the time-frequency resources, wherein the time-frequency resources are defined by a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a time domain and a plurality of subcarriers in a frequency domain,
wherein the plurality of control channel modulation symbols are transmitted separate from each other in the frequency domain, when one of the plurality of OFDM symbols is used for transmitting, and
wherein at least two of the plurality of control channel modulation symbols are transmitted using one of the plurality of OFDM symbols and the at least two of the plurality of control channel modulation symbols are transmitted separate from each other in the frequency domain when two of the plurality of OFDM symbols are used for transmitting.
