1. A method for controlling base stations in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
performing a monitoring operation on a first base station that is mounted on a first aerial vehicle and forms a first cell in a predetermined communication area at a predetermined aerial position;
determining whether the first base station needs to be replaced;
in response to determining that the first base station needs to be replaced, controlling a second base station mounted on a second aerial vehicle to move in a direction of the first base station and form a second cell;
in response to determining that coverages of the first and second cells overlap by more than a first reference value, decreasing a transmit power of the first base station and increasing a transmit power of the second base station; and
in response to identifying that all of one or more communication nodes, which were connected to the first cell, are handed over to the second base station, determining that the first base station is successfully replaced with the second base station.
