Abstract
A wireless communication method and a wireless communication apparatus capable of efficiently improving communication throughput of a second wireless communication system while securing a capturing capability of informative information in a first wireless communication system are provided. A transmitting/receiving unit () capable of transmitting/receiving information through first and second wireless communication systems (1x and EVDO) and a receiving unit () capable of receiving information through the first and second wireless communication systems and whose reception gain in the first wireless communication system is smaller than the transmitting/receiving unit are used to detect that a reception sensitivity of informative information notifying a reception by the transmitting/receiving unit through the first wireless communication system has exceeded a first threshold or a second threshold set in accordance with a reception gain difference between the transmitting/receiving unit and the receiving unit when information is being transmitted/received by the transmitting/receiving unit through the second wireless communication system, and to switch reception of the informative information from the transmitting/receiving unit to the receiving unit.
