Description

  The present invention relates to a communication method for a communication terminal wirelessly connected to a base station, and the communication terminal.

  In recent years, broadband communication networks such as the Internet have been developed. As means for realizing this, a wired broadband system using a wired connection such as FTTH (Fiber To The Home) and ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line), and wireless communication represented by Bluetooth (registered trademark), ZigBee, WiMAX, etc. Wireless broadband systems through the Internet are being built and used.

  In such a wireless broadband system, a communication terminal such as a mobile phone acquires information on a connectable base station by receiving broadcast information when performing wireless communication. And among the said base stations, the base station with the highest received signal quality is selected as a connection destination.

  When selecting a base station, depending on the radio environment, the communication terminal connects a base station capable of line-of-sight communication with good reception signal quality even though the distance between the communication terminal and the base station is long. May be selected as the destination. At this time, the communication terminal needs to increase transmission power for transmitting radio waves according to the distance from the base station selected as the connection destination. However, with an increase in transmission power in this communication terminal, there has been a problem that interference with radio waves transmitted from other communication terminals occurs, and the efficiency of radio wave use decreases.

For this reason, a technique has been proposed in which a communication terminal or the like calculates a distance between base stations and performs a cell search for a cell of a base station that is within a threshold (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
