A band adaptive modulation and coding method sharing resources with neighboring base stations and a mobile station supporting the same are disclosed. The mobile station identifies a channel status for each band by periodically scanning a neighboring base station, and requests a service base station to convert a current mode to a band sharing AMC mode if the identified channel stats satisfies a predetermined condition. The mobile station can use CQICH of 4 bits or 6 bits to request mode conversion. Selectively, the service base station can request the mobile station of channel status information of a neighboring base station to determine mode conversion.
