`ABSTRACT
`
`Provided is a data transmission system using a carrier aggre-
`gation. The data transmission system may assign a radio
`resource based on a correspondence relationship between a
`downlink and an uplink, and may transmit data using the
`assigned radio resource.

`BACKGROUND
`
`2
`According to another aspect of the present invention, there
`is provided a terminal including: a receiver to receive data
`from a base station; a controller to generate ACK/NACK
`associated with the data; and a transmitter to transmit, to the
`5 base station, a data packet including the ACK/NACK and a
`scheduling request with respect to the base station. The trans-
`mitter may determine a transmit power of the data packet
`based on a number of bits of the ACK/NACK and a number of
`bits of the scheduling request that are included in the data
`10 packet.
`According to still another aspect of the present invention,
`there is provided a terminal including: a receiver to receive,
`from a base station, information associated with downlink
`component carriers available for a communication between
`the base station and the terminal, and to receive a data block
`15 using a portion of or all of data receiving component carriers
`among the downlink component carriers; and anACK/NACK
`generator to generate ACK/NACK associated with the data
`block with respect to each of the downlink component carri-
`ers, based on a transmission mode of each of the downlink
`20 component carriers.
`According to yet another aspect of the present invention,
`there is provided a terminal including a transmitter to trans-
`mit, to a base station, a subframe including a first slot and a
`second slot. A first cyclic shift included in the first slot and a
`25 second cyclic shift included in the second slot may be differ-
`ent from each other.
`According to embodiments of the present invention, it is
`possible to transmit control information when a component
`carrier scheme is applied.

`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
`
`35
`
`The present invention relates to a wireless communication
`system, and more specifically, to a wireless communication
`system employing carrier aggregation (CA).
`A carrier aggregation (CA) scheme corresponds to tech-
`nology of enhancing the efficiency of data transmission by
`merging a plurality of component carriers. A terminal or a
`base station may be assigned with the plurality of component
`carriers and may transmit or receive data using the plurality of 40
`component carriers.
`The terminal or the base station may transmit control infor-
`mation associated with the data. Acknowledgement/negative-
`acknowledgement information (ACK/NACK) and an amount
`of assigned radio resources may be used as an example of the 45
`control information. There is a desire for research regarding a
`component carrier used to transmit control
`information
`among a plurality of component carriers and the control infor-
`mation to be transmitted when the plurality of component
`carriers is assigned.

`
`SUMMARY
`
`An aspect of the present invention provides a method of
`transmitting control information when a component carrier 55
`scheme is applied.
`According to an aspect of the present invention, there is
`provided a terminal including: a receiver to receive control
`information and data using a plurality of downlink compo-
`nent carriers; a controller to determine an uplink channel 60
`element included in an uplink component carrier, based on an
`index of a channel element used to transmit the control infor-
`mation among a plurality of downlink channel elements
`included in the plurality of downlink component carriers; and
`a transmitter
`to transmit acknowledgement/negative-ac- 65
`knowledgement information (ACK/NACK) associated with
`the data using the determined uplink channel element.

`refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are
`described below in order to explain the present invention by
`referring to the figures.
`FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating correspondence relation-
`ship between a downlink component carrier (CC) and an
`uplink CC.
`A terminal may receive data from a base station using a
`plurality of downlink CCs 110, 120, and 130, and may trans-
`mit, to the base station, an acknowledgement (ACK)/nega-
`tive-acknowledgement (NACK) message with respect to the
`data using a plurality uplink CCs 140 and 150.
`Each of the downlink CCs 110, 120, and 130 may include
`control information, for example, Physical Downlink Control
`Channels (PDCCHs) 111, 121, and 131, and data, for
`example, Physical Downlink Shared Channels (PDSCHs)
`112, 122, and 132. Each of the uplink CCs 140 and 150 may
`include control information, for example, Physical Uplink
`Control Channels (PUCCHs) 141, 143, 151, and 153, and
`data, for example, Physical Uplink Shared Channels
`(PUSCHs) 142 and 152.
`The terminal may set, as the downlink primary component
`carrier (PCC), one of CCs included in a set of configured CCs.
`Remaining CCs excluding the downlink PCC from the con-
`figured CCs may be referred to as downlink secondary com-
`ponent carriers (SCCs).
`The downlink PCC may be included in the set of config-
`ured CCs of the terminal at all times while the terminal
`maintains an access with the base station. The downlink PCC
`may correspond to a CC used at th
