A communication device comprises: a plurality of distributed units (DUs), each including an antenna; and a central unit (CU) which is arranged to be spaced from each of the plurality of DUs, and which is connected through each of the plurality of DUs and a plurality of DU links. The central unit measures the channel quality of each of the plurality of DU links, and the central unit can perform control so that power is cut off to the DU corresponding to the DU link if it is determined that the DU link is in an abnormal status during the operation time of a timer (TDU_link) associated with the connection to the DU link, and perform control so that power is supplied to the DU corresponding to the DU link if it is determined that the DU link has returned to a normal status.
