Abstract: A communication device determines a communication quality with a base station, requests a neighboring base station for a transition judgment information to transmit information to become a judgment criterion of the communication quality to be included in a Beacon signal at a stage before the communication quality degrades to an extent that the base station is immediately switched, and selects a base station with which a communication connection should be established on the basis of the transition judgment information included in the Beacon signal transmitted in response to the transition judgment request. The communication device is applicable to a communication system in the wireless LAN.
