Abstract
A mechanism capable of more appropriately performing antenna switching is provided. A communication device includes: a plurality of antenna panels (60) that each includes one or more antennas (51), one or more transmission analogue circuits (54) for transmitting a signal by using the antenna, and one or more reception analogue circuits (55) for receiving a signal by using the antenna; and a control section (240) that controls, on the basis of indication from a base station, the antenna panel in which antenna switching for switching of connection between the antenna and the transmission analogue circuit is to be performed among a plurality of the antenna panels, and a first resource on which the antenna switching in the corresponding antenna panel is to be performed.
