Abstract

A wireless communication terminal includes a base station communication part which communicates with a base station; an interterminal communication part which communicates with another wireless communication part; a communication failure detector which detects a communication failure with a first connected base station serving as a base station connected thereto; and a communication resume processor which carries out an interterminal communication with another wireless communication terminal so as to communicate with a second connected base station, connected to another wireless communication terminal, via another wireless communication terminal when a communication failure is detected with the first connected base station, thus carrying out a process of resuming a communication upon detecting the communication failure.
