Abstract

Provided are a radio communication terminal, a communication control apparatus, and a communication control method capable of enhancing the possibility of providing a communication application through inter-terminal direct communication (D2D communication) even in a case where a call request cannot be accepted due to congestion on the network side. In a terminalA, a call restriction reception unitreceives a call restriction containing configuration information on a communication environment necessary for direct communication. During restriction of initiation of communication to the radio access network, a radio communication unitexecutes direct communication with another radio communication terminal based on the configuration information if a direct communication determination unitdetermines that a communication application is executable through direct communication.
