- Cell Reselection is defined as a specification of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
- the wireless terminal determines a cell that satisfies the predetermined condition as a new cell based on the parameter included in the broadcast information notified from the NW and the measurement result of the electric field of the peripheral cell of the wireless terminal.
- a communication standard of wireless communication access such as W-CDMA and LTE is called RAT (Radio Access Technology). While there are NWs and wireless terminals that support only wireless communication between the same RAT, there are NWs and wireless terminals that support multiple RATs.

Further, the parameters of GSM (registered trademark) / GPRS include a Paging cycle, the number of neighboring cells to be measured, and a decode cycle of BCCH / BCH (Broadcast Control Channel / Synchronization Channel) of each cell. The Paging cycle corresponds to the DRX length of W-CDMA.

Thereby, a high power saving effect adapted to the current situation of each mobile wireless terminal 100 can be expected.
- the new serving cell after the execution of Cell Relsection is optimal using the parameters included in the broadcast information. For example, the frequency bandwidth, DRX length, Sintraserach, Sintersearch, Ssearchrat, the number of neighboring cells, and the like. These are parameters that greatly affect the current consumption. Therefore, it is possible to realize optimization of cell reselection in terms of current consumption also for Cell Relsection in the same RAT.
- the present invention can be applied to a communication state in which Cell Reselection exists, as in the idle state, such as the Cell-PCH state and the Cell-FACH state of W-CDMA.
- the existing destination becomes out of range.
- the communication control unit 102 may trigger the cell reselection, the received electric field of the current cell, or the antenna used.
- the hardware information such as the number may not be notified to the determination unit 105. Therefore, the determination unit 105 does not determine the current consumption of the serving cell before cell reselection and the new serving cell.

And identifying the conditions under which the wireless terminal operates in the appropriate cell, and holding the broadcast information acquired by the wireless terminal while the area is in the appropriate cell.
- the wireless terminal according to appendix 1 or 2, characterized in that
- the information processing apparatus further comprises a data processing unit that decodes the broadcast information, extracts information necessary for specifying a condition under which the wireless terminal operates, and notifies the determination unit of the information.
- the communication control unit controls the wireless terminal to be in the appropriate cell, and then notifies the data processing unit of the broadcast information acquired while the wireless terminal is in the appropriate cell.
- Appendix 3 The wireless terminal according to appendix 3.
- the determination unit performs the cell reselection by the communication control unit, and places the wireless terminal in such a manner as to locate the appropriate cell. After control, it is not determined whether the second current consumption value is larger than the first current consumption value.
- the wireless terminal according to any one of appendices 1 to 4, characterized in that:
- the cells targeted for the cell reselection include cells of a plurality of different RATs,
- a control method of a wireless terminal performing wireless communication in a cellular system comprising: A communication control step of performing cell reselection to select an appropriate cell found under a predetermined condition while the radio terminal is in a cell, and controlling the radio terminal to be in the appropriate cell; , In the communication control step, after the cell reselection is performed and the wireless terminal is controlled to be located in the appropriate cell, the wireless stored in association with each of the conditions under which the wireless terminal operates.
- the consumption current value indicating the current consumed by the terminal is associated with the condition under which the radio terminal operates in the cell before cell reselection which is the cell in which the radio terminal was located before the cell reselection.
- a data storage function that stores the condition under which the wireless terminal operates and the current consumption value indicating the current consumed by the wireless terminal in association with each other;
- the cell in which the radio terminal was located before the cell reselection is performed
- a consumption current value corresponding to a condition for the wireless terminal to operate in a cell before a certain cell reselection is a first consumption current value
- a consumption current value corresponding to the condition for the wireless terminal to operate in the appropriate cell is A determination function of determining the consumption current value stored in the data storage function as the consumption current value of 2, and determining whether the second consumption current value is smaller than the first consumption current value;
- the present invention is suitable for optimization of the power consumption state of a portable terminal.
