Claim:
1. A mobile communication system that supports Device to Device (D2D) communications, comprising: a base station configured to notify a plurality of user terminals of a D2D common RNTI that is a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) which is common in the plurality of user terminals, and that is used to collectively transmit, to the plurality of user terminals, a D2D control signal for controlling the D2D communications, wherein the D2D control signal includes one or more specific subframes as information indicating assignment candidate radio resources that are radio resources available in the D2D communications, the D2D common RNTI is a first D2D common RNTI or a second D2D common RNTI, the first D2D common RNTI is a RNTI that is common in a cell of the base station, the second D2D common RNTI is a RNTI that differs depending on each D2D group which is a group of user terminals that perform the D2D communications, the base station is configured to notify the plurality of user terminals of the first D2D common RNTI when a radio resource assignment scheme for the D2D communications is a first assignment scheme in which the plurality of user terminals select one or more resource blocks and subframes to use in the D2D communications from the assignment candidate radio resources included in the D2D control signal, and the base station is configured to notify the plurality of user terminals of the second D2D common RNTI, which differs depending on each D2D group that is a group of user terminals that perform the D2D communications, when the radio resource assignment scheme is a second assignment scheme in which the base station determines radio resources to be used in the D2D communications depending on available radio resources available in the D2D communications.
