Abstract
It is possible to provide a wireless communication terminal, a handoff method in the wireless communication terminal, and a wireless communication system which can suppress the affect of an instantaneous disconnection in a hard handoff. The wireless communication terminal () includes a control unit () which executes a wireless communication by switching a frequency to be used by a communication unit (). When the control unit () receives a search request which requests an acquisition of a handoff candidate frequency during a transmission of data formed by a plurality of continuous packets, the control unit () waits for completion of the transmission of the packets being transmitted. When the transmission is complete, the control unit () executes an inter-packet search process which controls the communication unit () to stop transmission of the subsequent packets and perform acquisition by switching from the currently used frequency to the handoff candidate frequency.
