A method is provided for performing power control by a first base station in a wireless communication system. The first base station acquires a parameter value related with signal strength of a second base station, determines an upper power limit of the first base station in consideration of the signal strength of the second base station and performs signal transmission in consideration of the upper power limit of the first base station. If a first condition including that the parameter value is equal to or more than a first threshold value is satisfied, the upper power limit of the first base station is an intermediate value. If a second condition including that the parameter value is less than the first threshold value is satisfied, the upper power limit of the first base station is a pre-determined value related with the transmit power of the first base station.
