It is possible to realize wireless communication using a directional beam in a more suitable manner.
A wireless communication device includes: one or more antenna elements that are configured to control directions of directional beams and perform wireless communication using the directional beams; a detection unit that detects an attitude of at least any one of the one or more antenna elements; and a control unit that sets a state in which a radio signal transmitted using at least a directional beam from a base station is receivable via any one of the one or more antenna elements as a reference state, and controls the wireless communication with the base station using the directional beam according to a change in the attitude from the reference state.
