The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th generation (6G) communication
system for supporting a higher
data transmission rate. A method and device for transmitting
hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information are provided. The method includes receiving, from a
base station (BS), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling one or more
multicast physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs), wherein the DCI includes a downlink assignment indication (DAI) associated with the one or more
multicast PDSCHs, receiving, from the BS, the one or more
multicast PDSCHs based on the DCI, in case that a number of
hybrid automatic repeat request-
acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits for the one or more multicast PDSCHs is one, transmitting, to the BS, a first physical uplink
control channel (PUCCH) resource including a NACK (negative
acknowledgement) value, and in case that the number of HARQ-ACK bits for the one or more multicast PDSCHs is more than one, transmitting, to the BS, a second PUCCH resource among configured PUCCH resources according to the number of the HARQ-ACK bits.
