Abstract:
1. A wireless communication terminal comprising: a measurement section that measures quality of a signal transmitted from a base station; a determination section that determines whether or not handoff is to be performed based on a measurement result of the measurement section and a threshold value of the determination of the handoff; and a handoff section that performs the handoff based on a determination result of the determination section, wherein the determination section determines whether the handoff section has performed a predetermined repetition pattern of handoffs, and changes the threshold value of the determination of the handoff if it is determined that the handoff section has performed the predetermined repetition pattern of handoffs, wherein the determination section changes the threshold value of the determination of the handoff when a predetermined repetition of two pilot signals is acquired, wherein when qualities of the two pilot signals acquired repeatedly are equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the threshold value of the determination of the handoff is changed.
