To reduce power consumption for scanning and maintain communication quality by reducing the time for scanning or connection when a wireless communication terminal switches between networks or base stations. A wireless communication terminal 1 enabling connection with a plurality of base stations disposed in different positions which includes a base station scanning unit 100 detecting and scanning a base station capable of communication at the current position of the wireless communication terminal, a simultaneous detection base station recording unit 101 recording simultaneously detected base stations as simultaneous detection information in a storage unit, a connection candidate extraction unit 102 and a first communication unit 103 performing communication by connection with the extracted connection candidate base station. Based on the simultaneous detection information, the connection candidate extraction unit 102 extracts a base station having the possibility of simultaneous detection with the currently connected base station as a connection candidate base station.
