Claim:
1. A mobile station which communicates with a base station, the mobile station comprising: a first processor configured to perform wireless communication with the base station by wireless communication interface; a second processor configured to determine whether an initialization of the wireless communication interface is needed; a third processor configured to instruct the first processor to search a base station with which the first processor is capable of communicating, in the case that the third processor recognizes that the initialization of the wireless communication interface is needed; a memory configured to store connection information for wirelessly coupling of the wireless communication interface with each of one or more base stations including the base station; wherein the second processor is further configured, when the second processor determines that the initialization of the wireless communication interface is needed, to send to the third processor a first signal indicating that the initialization of the wireless communication interface is not needed but the wireless communication interface is incapable of being used, and to send to the first processor a second signal indicating that the initialization of the wireless communication interface is needed, and the first processor is further configured to establish a connection with one of the one or more base stations based on the stored connection information after the initialization of the wireless communication interface.
