Mobile communication apparatus with improved base station monitoring

摘要

In order to detect a base station for a call connect or handover in almost real time while a mobile communication apparatus is moving, the measured base station selecting unit 110 refers to the measured base station table 101 and selects a next base station to be measured. The measuring unit 111 measures the signal quality for the selected base station. The measuring result judging unit 112 compares the measured signal quality with a predetermined threshold and judges whether the measurement of the signal quality of the present base station should be continued or whether a switch to measuring a next base station should be performed. The periphery base station table updating unit 113 rearranges the content of the periphery base station table 102 in descending order of signal quality, based on the information stored in the periphery base station table 102 and on the averages of the signal quality measurements.
