A method of performing a handoff between a plurality of wireless systems having different service areas and a wireless communication terminal are provided. A means for selecting one of the wireless systems to be connected according to the average moving speed of the wireless terminal is provided. When the average moving speed is changed across a certain threshold, the wireless terminal starts selecting one of the wireless systems as a handoff destination. Upon selection of the handoff destination, the current throughput is compared with the estimated throughput of the handoff destination. When an improvement in the throughput can be expected, the wireless terminal performs the handoff. The wireless terminal incorporates a plurality of control devices to select the handoff destination while communicating with the current wireless system.
A wireless terminal comprising:
A method of performing a handoff processing operation between a plurality of wireless communication systems performed by a wireless terminal in a situation where said wireless communication systems have different service areas and different throughputs respectively and are available;
