1. A base station, which accommodates a user terminal that transmits a discovery-use signal used for discovering a communication partner terminal in D2D communication that is direct device-to-device radio communication in a mobile communication system that supports the D2D communication, comprising:
a control unit that controls transmission of power control information for designating transmission power of the discovery-use signal to the user terminal.
2. The base station according to claim 1, wherein the power control information includes information indicating: an absolute value of the transmission power andor an acceptable range of the transmission power.
3. The base station according to claim 1, wherein, when the power control information is transmitted in a broadcast manner, the power control information is set in each cell.
4. The base station according to claim 1, wherein, when the power control information is transmitted in a unicast manner, the power control information is set in each user terminal, each D2D group, or each location.
5. The base station according to claim 1, wherein, when the power control information is transmitted in a unicast manner, the control unit determines the transmission power of the discovery-use signal in the user terminal on the basis:
location or capability of the user terminal andor propagation loss between the base station and the user terminal.
6. The base station according to claim 5, wherein the capability of the user terminal includes capability for discovering a communication partner terminal in the D2D communication, or assignment capability of a radio resource in the D2D communication.
7. The base station according to claim 5, wherein, when handover of the user terminal to another base station is performed, the control unit controls notification of the determined transmission power to the other base station.
8. A user terminal that transmits a discovery-use signal used for discovering a communication partner terminal in D2D communication that is direct device-to-device radio communication in a mobile communication system that supports the D2D communication, comprising:
a control unit that determines transmission power of the discovery-use signal, and controls transmission of inquiry information for inquiring whether to apply the determined transmission power to a base station.
9. The user terminal according to claim 8, wherein the inquiry information includes information indicating the determined transmission power.
10. The user terminal according to claim 8, wherein the control unit determines the transmission power on the basis of: location or capability of the user terminal andor propagation loss between the base station and the user terminal.
11. The user terminal according to claim 10, wherein the capability of the user terminal includes capability for discovering a communication partner terminal in the D2D communication, or assignment capability of a radio resource in the D2D communication.
12. A processor provided in a user terminal that transmits a discovery-use signal used for discovering a communication partner terminal in D2D communication that is direct device-to-device radio communication in a mobile communication system that supports the D2D communication, wherein
the processor performs a process of determining transmission power of the discovery-use signal, and transmitting inquiry information for inquiring whether to apply the determined transmission power to a base station.
