The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication apparatus, specifically, to a wireless communication apparatus performing wireless communication, and a communication system provided therewith and information processing method.
Hitherto, wireless communication apparatuses connected to a network such as a public wireless network are widely used. Further, in order that the wireless communication apparatus may be used at the destination of the user who owns the wireless communication apparatus, base stations for the wireless communication apparatus to connect to are installed at various regions. Further, when the wireless communication apparatus is moving, it is possible for the moving wireless communication apparatus to continue communication by performing a handover.
For example, a communication system has been proposed which determines the base station candidate in the movement direction to which the next handover is to be performed and performs a handover based on the prediction result (movement direction of the wireless communication apparatus) based on position data obtained by the wireless communication apparatus (for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-232928).
