Abstract
A radio terminal () receives a request and a radio configuration from a network () when the radio terminal () can connect to the network (). The request requests transmission of the radio configuration. The radio configuration includes a radio parameter for sidelink communication () with a second radio terminal () which is in a state of being unable to connect to the network (). The sidelink communication includes at least one of direct discovery and direct communication. The radio terminal () is further configured to transmit the radio configuration in response to this request, and to perform the sidelink communication in accordance with the radio configuration with the second radio terminal () that has received the radio configuration. It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to improvement of the sidelink communication in the partial coverage.
