Wireless communication apparatus

A wireless communication apparatus to be included in a wireless communication system in which a mobile wireless communication terminal and the wireless communication apparatus are included, the wireless communication apparatus and the mobile wireless communication terminal each have a plurality of communication modules compatible with different communication schemes, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:

• a first communicator that performs a communication in a first communication scheme;
• a first reception quality measurement section that measures a reception quality of the first communicator;
• a second communicator that performs, in a second communication scheme, a high speed communication which is faster than that performed under the first communication scheme;
• a second reception quality measurement section that measures a reception quality of the second communicator;
• a signal generator that generates a signal for commanding startup of a communicator of the mobile wireless communication terminal which performs a communication in the second communication scheme when a reception quality measured by the first reception quality measurement section is equal to or higher than a threshold value, provided that the first communicator is in a linked state with the mobile wireless communication terminal and that the communicator of the mobile wireless communication terminal is not started;
• and
• a threshold value setting section that sets the threshold value based on information indicating the reception quality measured by the first reception quality measurement section and a reception quality measured by the second reception quality measurement section, provided that the first communicator and the second communicator are in a linked state with the mobile wireless communication terminal, wherein
• the first communicator transmits the signal generated by the signal generator to the mobile wireless communication terminal.
