Mobile communication system, user terminal, base station, processor, and communication control method

A method performed at a base station, comprising:

• receiving a notification from a first user terminal before starting D2D communication that is direct device to device communication, the notification indicating a desire for performing the D2D communication;
• receiving a measurement report from the first user terminal, the measurement report including results of measurement of a cell reference signal;
• based on the measurement report, determining to cause the first user terminal to perform the D2D communication;
• performing a process for starting the D2D communication performed between the first user terminal and a second user terminal;
• receiving a first data amount notification transmitted from the first user terminal, wherein the first data amount notification indicates an amount of first data to be transmitted from the first user terminal to the second user terminal;
• and
• based on the first data amount notification, allocating first radio resources to the first user terminal, wherein the first radio resources allocated to the first user terminal are used by the first user terminal to transmit the first data.

A device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to cause a base station to:

• receive a notification from a first user terminal before starting D2D communication that is direct device to device communication, the notification indicating a desire for performing the D2D communication,
• receive a measurement report from the first user terminal, the measurement report including results of measurement of a cell reference signal,
• based on the measurement report, determine to cause the first user terminal to perform the D2D communication,
• perform a process for starting the D2D communication performed between the first user terminal and a second user terminal,
• receive a first data amount notification transmitted from the first user terminal, wherein the first data amount notification indicates an amount of first data to be transmitted from the first user terminal to the second user terminal, and
• based on the first data amount notification, allocate first radio resources to the first user terminal, wherein the first radio resources allocated to the first user terminal are used by the first user terminal to transmit the first data.
