Method and system for managing orientation direction of mobile communication base station antenna

An antenna management method performed by a direction control device for controlling an orientation direction of a mobile communication base station antenna on an antenna management system including the direction control device, the antenna management method comprising:

• receiving spatial orientation information of an antenna device or video data obtained by capturing a foreground orientated by the antenna device from a measuring device;
• and
• controlling a tilting and steering driver of the antenna device so that the antenna device has a preset target spatial orientation using at least one of the spatial orientation information and the video data,
• wherein the controlling includes:
• monitoring a change in the orientation direction of the antenna device by using the video data as an aid when measurement of the spatial orientation information is impossible, and
• in response to detecting the change in the orientation direction, controlling the tilting and steering driver so that the antenna device has the target spatial orientation,
• wherein the controlling further includes:
• storing an image frame of the video data in advance as a reference image in a situation in which the spatial orientation information of the antenna device coincides with preset target spatial orientation information, and
• monitoring the change in the orientation direction of the antenna device by comparing an image frame obtained from video data generated in real time by the measuring device with the reference image.
