Method and apparatus for allocating minimum guaranteed resource amount to access point in wireless access system

A method of a upper layer entity to guarantee minimum resources to an AP in a wireless access system including a plurality of upper layer entities for managing a plurality of APs and each of the APs individually, a method comprising:

• detecting a change in minimum guaranteed resource amount allocated to the AP;
• acquiring information about a number of neighboring APs adjacent to the AP and weight information assigned to each of the neighboring APs;
• and
• based on the information about the number of the neighboring APs and weight information assigned to each of the neighboring APs, determining minimum guaranteed resource amount for the AP.

In a wireless access system including a plurality of APs and a upper layer entity for managing the plurality of APs, a upper layer entity for allocating resources to the plurality of APs, comprising:

• a wireless communication unit for communicating wireless signals with external entities;
• and
• a controller connected to the wireless communication unit,
• wherein the controller detects a change in minimum guaranteed resource amount allocated to each AP;
• acquires from each of the APs, AP-level topology information according to a degree of interference with adjacent APs and AP weight information given to each AP by a service provider;
• and
• controls to determine a minimum guaranteed resource amount for each of the APs based on the acquired AP-level topology information and AP weight information;
• and
• controls to transmit the determined minimum guaranteed resource amount to each of the APs.
