Claim:
A method of allocating resources in a band adaptive modulation and coding (band AMC) mode of a wideband wireless access system, the method comprising: when two or more mobile stations transmit channel quality information (CQI) through an overlapping band, examining whether the mobile stations transmit information indicating that the overlapping band is the highest band thereof; comparing tag values of the mobile stations transmitting the information indicating that the overlapping band is the highest band thereof and selecting one of the tag values having the highest priority, the tag values being given when the mobile stations transmit the information on the band at the beginning and the tag values stored for every frame being reset; allocating a subchannel corresponding to the highest band to the mobile station having the selected tag value; and changing the tag values of the mobile stations transmitting the information indicating that the overlapping band is the highest band thereof on the basis of the result of the comparison to reset the tag values.
