1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
control the transceiver to receive first information related to a number of at least one acknowledgment (ACK)/negative acknowledgment (NACK) channel which carries at least one ACK/NACK;
control the transceiver to receive second information of an offset in frequency; and
determine at least one ACK/NACK channel resource based on:
an index of a single resource block allocated for uplink data,
a value which is based on the first information,
a total number of resource blocks in a downlink bandwidth, and
the offset,
wherein a number of the at least one ACK/NACK channel in the downlink bandwidth is determined based on the first information.
