1. A method for allocating resources in a multicarrier communication system where a base station allocates resources to a plurality of mobile stations as a function of feedback channel information from the mobile stations, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a resource request message from each mobile station;
obtaining at least one resource index set and a utilization efficiency from the resource request message;
selecting a set of mobile stations offering a maximum system gain without overlapped resources using the at least one resource index set and the utilization efficiency at a time point when the resource request messages from each mobile station is received; and
allocating, to each of the mobile stations constituting the set, resources requested by each of the mobile stations constituting the set,
wherein the utilization efficiency is attained when resources corresponding to the at least one resource index set are allocated to each of the mobile stations constituting the set.
