    Abstract: A method of mapping symbols of a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) is described. A start position of a resource element to map the symbols for the PCFICH is determined by flooring a value, obtained by multiplying the number of resource blocks by a variable proportional to a symbol index for the PCFICH and then dividing the multiplied result by 2, wherein the resource blocks are transmitted in downlink. The symbols are mapped in the start position. Therefore, a problem of wasting resource elements or not being able to implement mapping can be solved by applying a simple mapping rule while mapping symbols of the PCFICH.

    Abstract: The present invention provided a method and apparatus for reporting a channel quality in a wireless communication system. A terminal receives an uplink grant from a base station via one of a plurality of downlink component carriers (CCs). The uplink grant includes a channel quality indicator (CQI) request for instructing uplink allocation and CQI reporting. The terminal reports the CQI of the downlink CC being linked to the base station. The downlink CC being linked is one of the plurality of downlink CCs, which is linked to the uplink CC for which the uplink allocation is scheduled. A method and an apparatus for reporting channel quality are discussed. The method according to an embodiment includes receiving, by a terminal configured with a plurality of downlink component carriers (CCs), control information from a base station, the control information including an uplink allocation and a CQI request, the control information including a carrier indicator field (CIF) indicating an uplink CC in which the uplink allocation is scheduled; and transmitting, by the terminal to the base station, the CQI through an uplink CC. The CQI request indicates one of: a triggering of CQI reporting for one downlink CC linked to the uplink CC, indicated by the CIF, among the plurality of downlink CCs; and a triggering of CQI reporting for a first group of downlink CCs among the plurality of downlink CCs.
