A wireless communication system for high-speed motion use, capable of shortening the frequency channel search time and increasing the communication time available for service. The system includes an access point communicating on a designated one frequency channel and a mobile terminal communicating on the same received channel by receiving radio waves transmitted by the same access point. As for mobile terminal, in a storage, priority data is stored for a channel search in which arbitrary priorities can be set respectively for the channels. Frequency channel search sequence data, set up so that the number of times of appearance becomes greater for channels for which the priority data are set higher, are generated on the basis of the relative data, and a search of communication-capable channels is carried out in accordance with the same channel search sequence data.
