Abstract
A wireless LAN device determines whether there is a necessity to search for a base station based on base station information as to a currently associated first base station, and selects all or a part of base station search conditions stored in advance to search for the base station when there is the necessity for searching the base station. When detecting at least one base station, the wireless LAN device determines whether there is a necessity to execute a handover based on base station information of each of the detected base station and the first base station. If the handover is necessary, the wireless LAN device determines the second base station from the base stations and associates the wireless LAN device with the second base station.
