1. A method for transmitting uplink acknowledge (ACK) information in a communication system using an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme, the method comprising:
generating uplink ACK information to be transmitted in consideration of downlink packet status;
channel-encoding the uplink ACK information into a codeword;
determining modulation symbols corresponding to the codeword by performing orthogonal modulation; and
transmitting the modulation symbols allocated to predetermined subcarrier clusters,
wherein the modulation symbols are defined by an ACK vector index from:
   
  ACK vector index
  ACK bit Tile 0 Tile 1 Tile 2
   
  0 0 0 0
  1 4 7 2
   
where the ACK bit indicates the uplink ACK information, each of the ACK vector indexes indicates a predetermined set of modulation symbols, and each of the tiles includes a predetermined number of subcarriers.
