To provide a mobile communication device that avoids transmitting and receiving unnecessary information to/from the other communication devices by limiting transmission and/or reception of information to/from the other communication devices under conditions where the transmission and/or reception of information to/from the other communication devices are unnecessary, so as to reduce power consumption, and to provide a communication control method.

A mobile communication device that is provided in a mobile object and includes: a movement detection sensor for detecting the movement of the mobile object; a communication part for communicating with the other communication devices; and a controller for determining whether or not the mobile object is moving based on the output of the movement detection sensor. The controller transmits/receives information to/from the other communication devices through the communication part only when the mobile object is determined to be moving.
