1. A method of receiving control information at a mobile station (MS) in a multi-carrier wireless communication system, the method comprising:

  • establishing multiple forward link carriers between the MS and a base station (BS), wherein each of the multiple forward link carriers is separated from each other in a frequency domain;

    establishing multiple reverse link carriers between the MS and the BS, wherein each of the multiple reverse link carriers is associated with a respective one of the multiple forward link carriers, and separated from each other in the frequency domain;

    receiving a first acknowledgement (ACK) signal for a first data transmitted via a first reverse link carrier of the multiple reverse link carriers;

    receiving a second ACK signal for a second data transmitted via a second reverse link carrier of the multiple reverse link carriers;

    transmitting first channel quality information for a first forward link carrier of the multiple forward link carriers; and

    transmitting second channel quality information for a second forward link carrier the multiple forward link carriers;

    wherein the first ACK signal for the first data and the second ACK signal for the second data are received from the BS via a common forward link carrier of the multiple forward link carriers between the MS and the BS, andwherein the first channel quality information for the first forward link carrier and the second channel quality information for the second forward link carrier are transmitted to the BS via a common reverse link carrier of the multiple reverse link carriers between the MS and the BS.
