Provided are a method and apparatus for allocating resources in a multi-node system that includes a plurality of nodes and a base station connected to each of the nodes to control the nodes. The method comprises: partitioning radio resources into a node-common region and a node-specific region, and allocating the node-common region and the node-specific region to the plurality of nodes, wherein a common resource allocation scheme is applied to the plurality of nodes in the node-common region, and different resource allocation schemes are applied to the plurality of nodes in the node-specific region.
