One embodiment of the present specification provides a method for resource allocation by a serving cell base station, for supporting interference removal. The resource allocation method may comprise the steps of: determining whether or not UE has an interference removal function; and if the UE has the interference removal function, allocating resource blocks (RB) to the UE through a negotiation with an interfering cell with respect to the allocation of the resource blocks (RB). Herein the resource blocks (RB) of the interfering cell, which are co-located with the resource blocks (RB) according to the negotiation, may be allocated to another UE by the interfering cell without being divided.
