Radio communication terminal and base station assignment method

Abstract

There is provided a radio communication terminal that can reduce power consumption by a radio communication terminal when searching for a radio base station apparatus that is to be connected to the radio communication terminal, and that can reduce the time it takes to search for the radio base station apparatus. The radio communication terminal communicates with a radio base station apparatus through a network in which a plurality of radio communication schemes are present for use in a mixed manner, and includes a processor and an antenna. The processor acquires location information of the radio communication terminal, and locates a connection base station as a radio base station apparatus that communicates user data with the radio communication terminal, among a plurality of the radio base station apparatuses, based on the location information of the radio communication terminal and on information that is the history of communication with the radio base station apparatus in every location in which the radio communication terminal is present. Through the antenna, the user data is communicated between terminal itself and the connection base station.
