Abstract

It is possible to provide a radio communication terminal and a communication control method which can reduce the time of a out-of-cell state and perform reselection while continuing a wait operation. A mobile telephone (1) includes: a main communication unit (40) which transmits and receives a signal to/from one of communication systems via a main antenna (410); a sub communication unit (50) which receives a signal from one of the communication systems via a sub antenna (510); and a CPU (60) which switches the communication system to be used by the main communication unit (40) and the sub communication unit (50). When performing a predetermined process for selecting and capturing a priority system while the main communication unit (40) is waiting for a non-priority system, the sub communication unit (50) waits for the non-priority system and the main communication unit (40) captures the priority system.
