1. A method of communicating in a mobile communication system comprising a user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS), the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the BS, a first signal including first spread Acknowledqement/Negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, wherein the first spread ACK/NACK information is in a first antenna set in a form as shown in an upper half of Table 1;
transmitting, by the BS, a second signal including second spread ACK/NACK information in an OFDM symbol, wherein the second spread ACK/NACK information is in a second antenna set in a form as shown in a lower half of Table 1;
receiving, by the UE, a first signal including first spread ACK/NACK information in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol from the first antenna set of the BS;
receiving, by the UE, a second signal including second spread ACK/NACK information in an OFDM symbol from the second antenna set of the BS;
de-spreading, by the UE, the first spread ACK/NACK information for identifying the ACK/NACK information; and
de-spreading, by the UE, the second spread ACK/NACK information for identifying the ACK/NACK information;

Abstract
The present invention provides for transmitting a spread signal in a mobile communication system. The present invention includes spreading a signal using a plurality of spreading codes, wherein the plurality of spreading codes have a spreading factor, multiplexing the spread signal by code division multiplexing, transmitting the multiplexed signal via a plurality of neighboring frequency resources of one OFDM symbol of a first antenna set, and transmitting the same multiplexed signal via a plurality of neighboring frequency resources of one OFDM symbol of a second antenna set.
