According to one embodiment of the present invention, disclosed is a method for measuring a subband by pico base station(s) located within a coverage of a macro base station in a wireless communication system. The method is performed by a first pico base station, and comprises the steps of: receiving beacon signals from other pico base station(s) in the coverage of the macro base station via each subband of all the subbands of the whole band of the wireless communication system, and measuring the receiving quality of the beacon signal received via each subband; determining whether to select at least one subband from among said all subbands based on the measured receiving quality of the beacon signal; and transmitting, if at least one subband is selected, the beacon signal via the selected at least one subband.
