Abstract

A wireless terminal capable of communicating with multiple wireless base stations through a network in which multiple wireless communication methods are used in a mixed manner. A storage unit stores, as a communication history, at least location information for the wireless terminal and information pertaining to the wireless base station at the time of communication with each wireless base station. An acquisition unit acquires the location information for the wireless terminal. On the basis of the acquired location information for the wireless terminal and the communication history stored in the storage unit a derivation unit derives a connection base station from the multiple wireless base stations, as the wireless base station to be used in data communication. A communication unit performs data communication with the derived connection base station.
