Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communication. A scheduling message is received that includes first information on at least one resource allocated for uplink transmission and second information. Data and a pilot are transmitted via the allocated at least one resource for uplink transmission. An ACK/NACK resource is identified based on a lowest index among at least one index of the allocated at least one resource for uplink transmission and the second information. An ACK/NACK signal is received in response to the transmitted data using the identified ACK/NACK resource.
