Abstract

A method of wirelessly transmitting control information includes generating control information comprising a plurality of control bits and encoding the control bits using a block code that outputs an encoded bit sequence comprising encoded bits b(0), b(1), . . . , b(19). The control bits are encoded using the block code by generating a linear combination of a plurality of basis sequences. The method also includes dividing the encoded bits into a first group and a second group. The first group includes the encoded bits {b(0), b(1), b(5), b(6), b(8), b(11), b(12), b(14), b(17), b(19)} and the second group includes the encoded bits {b(2), b(3), b(4), b(7), b(9), b(10), b(13), b(15), b(16), b(18)}. Additionally, the method includes transmitting the first group of encoded bits on a first set of carriers and transmitting the second group of encoded bits on a second set of carriers. The second set of carriers have different frequencies from the first set of carriers.
