The present invention provides a method for transmitting a synchronous channel and an essential control information channel in a femto base station. The method comprises the steps of: acquiring by the femto base station segment information from a macro base station which overlays the femto base station; discriminating by the femto base station the segment or subcarrier used by the macro base station; and transmitting by the femto base station a synchronous channel and essential control information thereof on the segment or subcarrier different from the segment or subcarrier discriminated in the previous step.
