A wireless communication system includes a wireless terminal and a neighboring base station capable of performing coordinated multi point transmission. The wireless terminal includes a path-loss comparison unit comparing a first path loss, including a path loss between the wireless terminal and the current serving base station, with a second path loss, including a path loss between the wireless terminal and the neighboring base station; a distance comparison unit comparing a first distance, including a distance between the wireless terminal and the current serving base station, with a second distance, including a distance between the wireless terminal and the neighboring base station; and a control unit performing handover from the current serving base station to the neighboring base station, if at least either the second path loss is smaller than the first path loss or the second distance is shorter than the first distance.
