Claim Text:
1. A method of allocating resources in a multi-node system comprising a plurality of nodes and a Base Station (BS) connected to the plurality of nodes, the method comprising: partitioning available radio resources for the BS, and allocating the partitioned radio resources to the plurality of nodes, wherein the partitioned radio resources are allocated to the plurality of nodes using a permutation between the plurality of nodes, wherein at least one of parameters used for the permutation is differently allocated to each node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the at least one parameters includes or a reference signal index, wherein a different permutation is used for each node of the plurality of nodes by determining a miniband permutation of IEEE 802.16m using the reference signal index included in the at least one parameters, wherein a power boosting level value of each partitioned radio resources in the IEEE 802.16m is broadcasted to terminals, wherein the power boosting level value is different for each node of the plurality of nodes, and wherein if the BS and the plurality of nodes support a multi-carrier operation, carriers allocated as downlink carriers and carriers allocated as uplink carriers, from among a plurality of carriers allocated to the plurality of nodes, are differently allocated.
