Method and apparatus for receiving and decoding control information in a communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for receiving control information in a communication system, in which information about a number of bits of the control information is acquired in a received frame. A number of coded blocks carrying the control information is determined based on the number of bits of the control information and a specific reference value. A number of information bits corresponding to each coded block is calculated based on the determined number of coded blocks. A number of parity bits to be punctured in each coded block is calculated. One or more coded blocks received in the frame is decoded based on the acquired information about the number of bits of the control information, the determined number of coded blocks, the calculated number of information bits corresponding to each coded block, and the calculated number of parity bits to be punctured in each coded block.
