The 1.times. wireless processing section communicates with the 1.times.
base station while the EV-DO wireless processing section performs
processing for communicating with the EV-DO base station. The measurement
section measures strength of signals received from a plurality of base
stations including the EV-DO base station performing data communication.
The decision section decides whether or not the hand-off is to be
performed based on the strength of the received signals measured by the
measurement section. The reporting section generates a signal serving as
a trigger for starting the hand-off in the case where the decision
section decided to perform the hand-off and then outputs the signal to
the EV-DO base station through the EV-DO processing section.
