I am wondering OAuth signature is related only to URL or related to something inside post data when using POST protocol?

The actual parameters are defined as the signature base string in the specification: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5849#section-3.4.1

The POST body is only included when the criteria in section 3.4.1.3.1 is met:

 * The entity-body is single-part. * The entity-body follows the encoding requirements of the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content-type as defined by [W3C.REC-html40-19980424]. * The HTTP request entity-header includes the "Content-Type" header field set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

In other words, if you're posting XML or JSON data, the parameters are not included. However, if it's basic form encoded data it may be.
