Provided is a method of allocating a resource in a small cell system. The method includes: selecting a temporary base station for each user terminal; measuring a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) through a downlink pilot in a small cell base station; transmitting the signal-to-noise ratio measured for each user terminal to the temporary base station; receiving base station selection and resource allocation information from the small cell base station; and selecting the small cell base station to which most frequency resource block are allocated as a home base station.
