Claim:
1. A method for allocating, by a first upper layer entity, resources to a first access point (AP) in a wireless access system including the first AP, a second AP, the first upper layer entity for managing the first AP and a second upper layer entity for managing the second AP, the method comprising: detecting, by the first upper layer entity, a change in minimum guaranteed resource amount allocated to the first AP; acquiring, by the first upper layer entity, first information on a number of the second AP adjacent to the first AP and second information on weight for the second AP assigned the second AP; based on the first information and the second information, determining, by the first upper layer entity, minimum guaranteed resource amount for the first AP, wherein if weight for the first AP is equal to the weight for the second AP regardless of a number of the first AP and the number of the second AP, the minimum guaranteed resource amount for the first AP is determined based on a proportion of the number of the first AP and minimum guaranteed resource amount for the second AP is determined based on a proportion of the number of the second AP, wherein if weight for the first AP which is set based on the number of the first AP is not equal to the weight for the second AP which is set based on the number of the second AP, the minimum guaranteed resource amount for the first AP is determined the same as minimum guaranteed resource amount for the second AP regardless of a proportion of the number of the first AP; and transmitting, by the first upper layer entity, the determined minimum guaranteed resource amount for the first AP to the first AP.
