A method for resource allocation includes determining, based on topology information, resource compatibility between a first basic service set (BSS) and a second BSS. The method also includes, in response to determining the first BSS and the second BSS are incompatible, assigning a first device the first BSS to a first group of devices and assigning a second device of the second BSS to a second group of devices. The method further includes allocating a communication resource between multiple groups of devices, the multiple groups including the first group and the second group.
