Patent ID: 8379626

Claim:
A wireless communication terminal which, in accordance with a time division multiple access system, establishes radio-links to a plurality of base stations and conducts a communication by using slots assigned by the plurality of base stations, comprising: a synchronization information acquisition means generating synchronization information regarding slots used between the wireless communication terminal and a plurality of base stations that are candidates to which a communication is conducted; and a selection means, based on the synchronization information, classifying the plurality of base stations into a plurality of synchronized base station groups which include the base stations that provide synchronized slots, and selects one of the synchronized base station groups including the bases stations that are candidates to which the radio-link is established, wherein the synchronization information acquisition means, in a search time interval in which the base stations that are candidates to which communication is conducted are searched, generates the synchronization information including both base station identification information included in the control signals and a reception time period of control signals transmitted in a predetermined time period from the base stations that are candidates to which communication is conducted via control channel slots.
