1. A method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system which includes a wireless terminal, a first wireless base station, a second wireless base station which supports a wireless channel which is not supported by the first wireless base station, and an upper level apparatus which accommodates the first and second wireless base stations, the method comprising: on the upper level apparatus,monitoring interference power in the first wireless base station; andcarrying out, where a result of the monitoring exceeds a predetermined threshold value, suppression control of transmission power of the wireless terminal which communicates with the second wireless base station using the wireless channel which is not supported by the first wireless base station, whereinthe monitoring of the interference power is carried out in a unit of a first cell where a wireless zone formed by the first wireless base station is divided into such first cells, andthe wireless terminal which is a target of the suppression control exists in a cell which is a second cell where a wireless zone formed by the second wireless base station is divided into such second cells and neighbors with the first cell in which the result of the monitoring exceeds the predetermined threshold value. 2. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein the upper level apparatus retains information regarding neighboring situations of the cells formed by the first and second wireless base stations, and specifies, based on the information, the second cell which neighbors with the first cell within which the result of the monitoring exceeds the predetermined threshold value. 3. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 2, wherein the upper level apparatus produces information regarding the neighboring situations based on information of wireless links formed between the wireless base stations and the wireless terminal in the past. 4. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein monitoring of the interference power is carried out based on reception power information of each of the first cells reported from the first wireless base station. 5. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein the suppression control is control for limiting the total transmission power of uplinks which can be allocated to the wireless terminals existing in the second cells by the second wireless base station from the upper level apparatus to reduce transmission power of the uplinks allocated to the wireless terminals. 6. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein the suppression control is carried out by transmitting a common controlling signal or an individual controlling signal to the wireless terminal existing in the second cell from the upper level apparatus to the second cell through the second wireless base station. 7. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 6, wherein the wireless terminal to which the individual controlling signal is to be transmitted is a wireless terminal which exists in the second cell and positioned in the proximity of a boundary with the first cell. 8. The method for controlling an uplink power in a wireless communication system according to claim 7, wherein the wireless terminal positioned in the proximity of the boundary is estimated by the upper level apparatus or the second wireless base station based on a signal transmitted from the wireless terminal existing in the second cell. 9. An apparatus in a wireless communication system which includes a wireless terminal, a first wireless base station, a second wireless base station which supports a wireless channel which is not supported by the first wireless base station, and said apparatus which accommodates the first and second wireless base stations, the apparatus comprising: a monitor that monitors interference power in the first wireless base station; anda controller that carries out, where a result of the monitoring by said monitor exceeds a predetermined threshold value, suppression control of transmission power of the wireless terminal which communicates with the second wireless base station using the wireless channel which is not supported by the first wireless base station, whereinsaid monitor carries out the monitoring of the interference power in a unit of a first cell where a wireless zone formed by the first wireless base station is divided into such first cells, andsaid controller selects, as the wireless terminal which is a target of the suppression control, a wireless terminal which exists in a cell which is a second cell where a wireless zone formed by the second wireless base station is divided into such second cells and neighbors with the first cell in which the result of the monitoring exceeds the predetermined threshold value. 10. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 9, wherein said controller includes: a memory that retains information regarding neighboring situations of the cells formed by the first and second wireless base stations; anda specifying unit that specifies, based on the information retained in said memory, the second cell which neighbors with the first cell within which the result of the monitoring exceeds the predetermined threshold value. 11. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 9, wherein said controller further includes a neighboring cell information production unit that produces information regarding the neighboring situations based on information of wireless links formed between the wireless base stations and the wireless terminal in the past and that stores the produced information into said memory. 12. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 9, wherein said monitor carries out monitoring of the interference power based on reception power information of the first cells reported from the first wireless base station. 13. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 9, wherein said controller limits the total transmission power of uplinks which can be allocated to the wireless terminals existing in the second cells by the second wireless base station to carry out the suppression control of the transmission power of the uplinks allocated to the wireless terminals. 14. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 9, wherein said controller carries out the suppression control by transmitting a common controlling signal or an individual controlling signal to the wireless terminal existing in the second cell to the second cell through the second wireless base station. 15. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 14, wherein said controller selects, as the wireless terminal to which the individual controlling signal is to be transmitted, a wireless terminal which exists in the second cell and positioned in the proximity of a boundary with the first cell. 16. The apparatus in a wireless communication system according to claim 15, wherein said controller estimates the wireless terminal positioned in the proximity of the boundary based on a signal transmitted from the wireless terminal existing in the second cell.
