1. A method, performed by a communication control device, of establishing a communication link, the method comprising:
monitoring a heading direction of a vehicle;
in case that the heading direction of the vehicle is changed by at least as much as a preset angle, determining a search order between a plurality of antenna modules by considering the changed heading direction of the vehicle and mounting positions of the plurality of antenna modules mounted on the vehicle;
evaluating the plurality of antenna modules according to the search order; and
communicating with a base station via a new antenna module selected based on a result of the evaluating, rather than via an old antenna module used for communication with the base station.
