Patent ID: 7493137

Claim:
A mobile station comprising: a measuring unit configured to measure states of communication paths to a plurality of base stations; a receiving unit configured to receive, information from a base station; a storage unit configured to store data; a detecting unit configured to detect a candidate base station from among the plurality of base stations, the candidate base station being a base station that satisfies a predetermined condition for communication with the mobile station; an updating unit configured to perform an update operation, the update operation including an operation that the receiving unit receives information required for communication with the candidate base station, and an operation that the updating unit updates data stored in the storage unit with the information received by the receiving unit; a cancel unit configured to cancel a detecting result from a timing when the updating unit initiates the update operation for a first candidate base station to a timing when the updating unit terminates the update operation for the first candidate base station, even if a second candidate base station is detected by the detecting unit and a communication unit configured to communicate with a base station identified by the information stored in the storage unit.
