Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting and receiving information. A User Equipment (UE) identifies first information for a cyclic shift value, transmitted from a Node B. The UE identifies second information for the cyclic shift value, transmitted from the Node B. The UE obtains a sequence based on a Zadoff-Chu sequence and the cyclic shift value defined based on the first information and the second information. The UE transmits the sequence in a Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol to the Node B. The SC-FDMA symbol is predefined among a plurality of SC-FDMA symbols in a slot of a subframe.
