Abstract

A radio base station, user terminal, and apparatus in a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells corresponding to a plurality of frequency bands are configured to either transmit or receive a system information block indicating radio resources. The radio resources are used by a user terminal to transmit and/or receive a direct discovery signal for discovering another user terminal in proximity of the user terminal. The system information block includes information indicating a cycle of time resources reserved as the radio resources, information indicating one or more frequency bands selected from the plurality of frequency bands, and information indicating one or more resource blocks reserved as the radio resources in the one or more frequency bands. The radio base station, user terminal, and apparatus further configured to either transmit or receive change notification information, relating to a change of the radio resources, separately from the system information block.

Claims (21)

1. A radio base station in a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells corresponding to a plurality of frequency bands, the radio base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a system information block indicating radio resources, to a user terminal, wherein the radio resources are used by the user terminal to transmit and/or receive a direct discovery signal for discovering another user terminal in proximity of the user terminal,

the system information block comprises:

information indicating a cycle of time resources reserved as the radio resources,

information indicating one or more frequency bands selected from the plurality of frequency bands, and

information indicating one or more resource blocks reserved as the radio resources in the one or more frequency bands, and

the transmitter is further configured to transmit, to the user terminal, a change notification information separately from the system information block, wherein the change notification information relates to a change of the radio resources.

2. A user terminal in a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells corresponding to a plurality of frequency bands, the user terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a system information block indicating radio resources, from a radio base station, wherein the radio resources are used by the user terminal to transmit and/or receive a direct discovery signal for discovering another user terminal in proximity of the user terminal,

the system information block comprises:

information indicating a cycle of time resources reserved as the radio resources,

information indicating one or more frequency bands selected from the plurality of frequency bands, and

information indicating one or more resource blocks reserved as the radio resources in the one or more frequency bands, and

the receiver is further configured to receive, from the radio base station, a change notification information separately from the system information block, wherein the change notification information relates to a change of the radio resources.

3. An apparatus for a user terminal in a mobile communication system including a plurality of cells corresponding to a plurality of frequency bands, the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors configured to cause the user terminal to receive a system information block indicating radio resources, from a radio base station, wherein the radio resources are used by the user terminal to transmit and/or receive a direct discovery signal for discovering another user terminal in proximity of the user terminal,

the system information block comprises:

information indicating a cycle of time resources reserved as the radio resources,

information indicating one or more frequency bands selected from the plurality of frequency bands, and

information indicating one or more resource blocks reserved as the radio resources in the one or more frequency bands, and

the one or more processors are further configured to cause the user terminal to receive, from the radio base station, a change notification information separately from the system information block, wherein the change notification information relates to a change of the radio resources.
