Terminal apparatus, control method, and integrated circuit

A control method applied to a terminal apparatus that performs data communication with a base station apparatus and device-to-device data communication that is direct data communication between terminal apparatuses with use of a radio resource configured by the base station apparatus, comprising at least the step of:

• determining, whether or not to make a notification, by a transmitter to the base station apparatus, of information indicating that the terminal apparatus is interested in the data communication between terminal apparatuses, wherein:
• the information includes a frequency of the data communication between terminal apparatuses,
• whether or not the information is notified to the base station apparatus is determined at least on a basis of (i) whether or not a system information block is being broadcasted in a cell of the base station apparatus, the system information block indicating that the base station apparatus supports the device-to-device data communication by the terminal apparatus and (ii) whether or not transmission, by the terminal apparatus, of the device-to-device data communication is configured, and
• in a case where the cell does not support the notification of the information, connection with the base station a aratus is reestablished b ending a connection re-establishment procedure without cam in out the notification of the information to the base station apparatus.

An integrated circuit mounted in a terminal apparatus that performs data communication with a base station apparatus and device-to-device data communication that is direct data communication between terminal apparatuses with use of a radio resource configured by the base station apparatus, the integrated circuit causing the terminal apparatus to exert the function of:

• determining whether or not to make a notification, by a transmitter to the base station apparatus, of information indicating that the terminal apparatus is interested in the data communication between terminal apparatuses, wherein:
• the information includes a frequency of the data communication between terminal apparatuses,
• whether or not the information is notified to the base station apparatus is determined at least on a basis of (i) whether or not a system information block is being broadcasted in a cell of the base station apparatus, the system information block indicating that the base station apparatus supports the device-to-device data communication by the terminal apparatus and (ii) whether or not transmission, by the terminal apparatus, of the device-to-device data communication is configured, and
• in a case where the cell does not support the notification of the information, connection with the base station apparatus k reestablished by ending a connection re-establishment procedure without carrying out the notification of the information to the base station apparatus.
