Abstract:
1. A wireless communication terminal comprising: a communication part selecting one frequency from among a plurality of frequencies capable of transmission/reception of packets and performing wireless communication with a plurality of base stations, wherein the communication part is a transmission/reception section; and a control part switching a frequency used by the communication part and executing the wireless communication, wherein the control part is an inter-packet search processing section, wherein the control part executes inter-packet search processing controlling the communication part so as to wait for completion of the transmission of a packet being transmitted when the communication part receives a search request requesting processing for acquisition of hand-off candidate frequencies during transmission of data formed by a continuous plurality of packets, temporarily stops the transmission of subsequent packets after completing the transmission of the packet being transmitted in a hard hand-off mode, switches a frequency being used at present to a hand-off candidate frequency after completing the transmission of the packet being transmitted, performs an acquisition processing, and restarts the transmission of the subsequent packets that has been temporarily stopped after completing the acquisition processing.
