Abstract
A radio terminal receives a first information element indicating a list of search spaces configured by a base station for the radio terminal via a dedicated signaling message destined for the radio terminal. The first information element contains a second information element indicating a configuration of each search space required by the radio terminal to monitor downlink control information in each search space included in the list. The first information element further contains a third information element indicating, on a per-search space basis, whether each search space is initially deactivated. This contributes to, for example, promptly deactivating a radio resource range used for transmission of downlink control information or promptly deactivating a reception operation of a radio terminal therein.
