Method and apparatus for allocating resources in a multi-node system

An apparatus for allocating resources in a multi-node system connected to a plurality of nodes and capable of controlling the plurality of nodes, the apparatus comprising:

• a Radio Frequency (RF) unit transmitting and receiving radio signals;
• and
• a processor coupled with the RF unit and generating a radio signal,
• wherein the processor partitions radio resources into a node-common region and a node-specific region, allocates the node-common region and the node-specific region to the plurality of nodes, applies a common resource allocation scheme to the plurality of nodes in the node-common region, and applies different resource allocation schemes to the plurality of nodes in the node-specific region.
