Abstract
The disclosure relates to technology for communicating data and control information on an uplink channel in a wireless communication system. A frame is constructed to communicate symbols between a base station and user equipment, and zones are configured for an uplink channel in an uplink subframe using a signaling message. A first zone in the uplink channel is configured as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for transmission of control information and a second zone is configured as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for transmission of data information. The PUCCH zone configuration is transmitted to the user equipment by the base station, control information is received by the base station as uplink control information (UCI) on the PUCCH resource using a single carrier modulation, such as SC-FDMA, and the data is received at the base station on the PUSCH resource using a multicarrier modulation, such as OFDM.
