1. A radio control station comprising:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit control information to a radio terminal via a dedicated control channel, the control information enables the radio terminal to connect to one of plural radio communication systems for conducting communication, the plural radio communication systems respectively operating in separate frequency bands, a frequency band of the dedicated control channel is outside of the frequency bands of the plural radio communication systems, the control information is provided exclusively to the radio terminal from the radio control station via the dedicated control channel, the control information indicates a frequency band of a pilot channel of each of the plural radio communication systems, and the pilot channel is a first channel that the radio terminal receives when the radio terminal connects to one of the plural radio communication systems.
