1. A frequency band setting apparatus, comprising:
- a calculation unit configured to calculate, for Access Points (APs), a basic frequency band that is not shared by the APs based on a frequency band of at least one Mobile Station (MS) configured to communicate with a respective one of the APs, a number of MSs connected to the respective one of the APs, and an available bandwidth of the respective one of the APs and an outage ratio;
a control unit configured to divide a frequency band, the frequency band being available to the plurality of APs, into the calculated basic frequency band of each of the plurality of APs and a common frequency band shared by the plurality of APs; and
a communication unit configured to communicate, to each of the plurality of APs, the AP'"'"'s basic frequency band and information of the common frequency band, andwherein the outage ratio indicates a ratio that an MS is or not provided with service.

4. An Access Point (AP), comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to receive a request for assignment of a required frequency band from a Mobile Station (MS); and a control unit configured to; calculate a basic frequency band of the AP that is not shared by APs based on a frequency band for MSs configured to communicate with the AP, a number of MSs connected to the AP, and an available bandwidth of the AP, and an outage ratio; compare a bandwidth of the required frequency band requested by the MS with a bandwidth of the basic frequency band, and in response to the bandwidth of the required frequency band being greater than the bandwidth of the basic frequency band, assign a common frequency band, shared by the APs, to the MS, and wherein the outage ratio indicates a ratio that an MS is or not provided with service. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
