First Claim
1. A mobile communication system, comprising:
- a first radio terminal;
a second radio terminal; and
a base station, whereinthe first radio terminal directly transmits user data to the second radio terminal by device to device (D2D) communication,the second radio terminal transmits a first radio signal,the first radio signal indicates whether or not the second radio terminal has received the user data,the base station receives the first radio signal from the second radio terminal,the base station transmits a second radio signal to the first radio terminal in response to a reception of the first radio signal,the second radio signal indicates whether or not the second radio terminal has received the user data,the first radio terminal receives the second radio signal form the base station, andthe first radio terminal determines whether to retransmit the user data to the second radio terminal on a basis of the first radio signal without use of the second radio signal in response to a communication state of the D2D communication exceeding a threshold value.

Abstract
The mobile communication system directly performs user-data communication between a plurality of radio terminals without involvement of a radio base station. The user-data communication directly performed between the plurality of radio terminals is performed by using a part of radio resources assigned to the mobile communication system. The plurality of radio terminals comprise: a transmission-side terminal that transmits the user data; and a reception-side terminal that receives the user data. The reception-side terminal comprises: a reception-side transmission unit that transmits a transmission acknowledgement signal indicating whether the user data transmitted from the transmission-side terminal has been able to receive or not. The reception-side transmission unit transmits the transmission acknowledgement signal to the radio base station.
