1. A communication device comprising:
a control circuit that:
acquires, from a base station:
a plurality of time offset values;
information indicating a combination of a receiving antenna panel and a receiving beam to be used by the communication device for receiving control information that is to be transmitted from the base station;
the control information via the combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam for the control information
wherein the control information:
identifies a combination of a receiving antenna panel and a receiving beam to be used by the communication device for receiving user data that is to be transmitted from the base station, and
sets a time offset of the plurality of time offset values by the communication device to be used for receiving the user data; and
the user data,
wherein the user data is acquired based a time offset value that is set by the control information from among the plurality of time offset values based on a time interval between the acquisition of the control information and the acquisition of the user data,
wherein, based on the time interval being less than the time offset value set by the control information, the control circuit sets the combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam for the user data to a preset combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam for the user data, and
wherein, based on the time interval being equal to or greater than the time offset value set by the control information, the control circuit sets the combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam for the user data to the combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam designated by the control information.
