Abstract: A radio terminal (3) can perform carrier aggregation using a first cell (10) of a first radio station (1) and a second cell (20) of a second radio station (2). The first radio station (1) or the second radio station (2) transmits constraint information to the radio terminal (3). The constraint information contains an information element necessary to specify a reception constraint and/or transmission constraint related to the first cell (10) and/or the second cell (20) when the carrier aggregation is performed. The reception/transmission constraint is a constraint related to downlink signal reception/uplink signal transmission by the radio terminal over one or more subframe periods of the primary cell (10) and the secondary cell (20). It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to reduction in wasteful power consumption in the radio terminal in the carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells served by different radio stations.

Abstract: To solve a problem that unless all of a plurality of AICH signature states are correctly decoded, the contents of reception results cannot be recognized and the error rate of signature decoding will be high. In this embodiment, a base station uses, out of a signature combination, the signature of at least one predetermined position to indicate information containing a preamble reception result and uses the signature of a position other than the predetermined position to indicate a transmission profile information number of an uplink channel for notification to a user equipment. Thus, the error rate related to reception results can be reduced as compared with the case where a single signature combination is used to notify all pieces of information.

Abstract: A network apparatus (2) transmits, to at least one of a D2D transmitting terminal (1A) and a D2D reception terminal (1B), a first control signal (501) including an indication indicating which of first and second D2D transmission modes is activated. The first D2D transmission mode conforms to a first resource pattern that is repeated every first time period. The second D2D transmission mode conforms to a second resource pattern that is repeated every second time period, the second time period being the same as or different from the first time period. The second resource pattern is defined so as to allow low-latency transmission. In an example, the second resource pattern does not include a control channel subframe pool that is used for transmission of D2D control information indicating resource allocation for data transmission.
