     EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION 
     In the following, embodiments of the present invention are described by referring to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are examples, and embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to the embodiments below. 
     In operating a radio communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, existing technology is used as appropriate. The existing technology is, for example, an existing LTE, but is not limited to an existing LTE. The term “LTE” as used in this specification has a broad meaning, including LTE-Advanced and a scheme subsequent to LTE-Advanced (e.g., NR), unless otherwise indicated. 
     In the embodiments of the present invention described below, terms used in the existing LTE are used, such as Synchronization signal (SS), Primary SS (PSS), Secondary SS (SSS), Physical broadcast channel (PBCH), Physical random access channel (PRACH), and the like. This is for convenience of description, and signals, functions, and the like similar to these may be referred to by other names. The above-described terms in NR correspond to NR-SS, NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, NR-PRACH, and the like, respectively. However, even if a signal is used for NR, the signal is not always specified. as “NR-.” 
     Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, a duplex scheme may be a Time Division Duplex (TDD) scheme, a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) scheme, or any other (e.g., Flexible Duplex) scheme. 
     Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, to “configure” a radio parameter or the like may be to pre-configure a predetermined value, or to configure a radio parameter signaled from a base station  10  or a terminal  20 . 
       FIG. 1  is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a network architecture in the embodiments of the present invention. As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , a radio network architecture according to an embodiment of the present invention includes 4G-CU, 4G-Remote Unit (RU), remote radio station), an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and the like, at an LTE-Advanced side. The radio network architecture according to the embodiment of the present invention includes 5G-CU, 5G-DU, and the like, at a 5G side. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , 4G-CU includes layers up to the Radio Resource Control (RRC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), Radio Link Control (RLC), Medium Access Control (MAC), and Layer 1 (L1, PHY layer or physical layer) and is connected to 4G-RU via Common Public Radio interface (CPRI). A network node including 4G-CU and 4G-RU is referred to as eNB. 
     In the 5G side, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , 5G-CU includes an RRC layer; is connected to 5G-DU via a Fronthaul (FH) interface; and is connected to 5G Core Network (% GC) via an NG interface. 5G-CU is also connected to 4G-CU via an X2 interface. The PDCP layer in 4G-CU is a coupling point or a separation point for performing 4G-5G Dual Connectivity (DC), i.e., E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC). A network node including 5G-CU and 5G-DU are referred to as gNB. 5G-CU may also be referred to as gNB-CU, and the 5G-DU may be referred to as gNB-DU. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , a Carrier Aggregation (CA) is performed between 4G and RU, and DC is performed between 4G-RU and 5G-DU. Note that, though it is not depicted, a User Equipment (UE) is wirelessly connected via 4G-RU RF or 5G-DU RF to transmit and receive packets. 
     Note that  FIG. 1  illustrates a radio network architecture for LTE-NR DC, i.e., E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC). However, a similar radio network architecture may be used when 4G-CU is separated into CU-DU or when NR standalone operation is performed. When the 4G-CU is separated into CU-DU, functions related to the RRC layer and the PDCP layer may be moved to 4G-CU and the RLC layer or lower may be included in 4G-DU. Here, a CPRI data rate may be reduced by CU-DU separation. 
     A plurality of 5G-DUs may be connected to 5G-CU. Furthermore, NR-NR Dual Connectivity (NR-DC) may be performed. by connecting a UR to a plurality of 5G-CUs, or NR-DC may be performed by connecting a UE to a plurality of 5G-DUs and a single 5G-CU. 5G-CU may be directly connected to EPC without going through 4G-CU, or 4GCU may be directly connected to 5GC without going through 5G-CU. 
       FIG. 2  is a diagram for illustrating a radio communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The radio communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base station  10  and a terminal  20 , as illustrated in  FIG. 2 . In  FIG. 2 , one base station  10  and one terminal  20  are illustrated. However, this is an example, and there may be a plurality of base stations  10  and a plurality of terminals  20 . 
     The base station  10  is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs radio communication with the terminal  20 . Physical resources of a radio signal are defined in a time domain and a frequency domain, the time domain may be defined in terms of a OFDM symbol number, and the frequency domain may be defined in terms of a sub-carrier number or a resource block number. The base station  10  transmits a synchronization signal and system information to the terminal  20 . The synchronization signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. System information is transmitted, for example, on NR-PBCH and is also referred to as broadcast information. As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the base station  10  transmits a control signal or data in Downlink (DL) to the terminal  20  and receives a control signal or data in Uplink (UL) from the terminal  20 . Both the base station  10  and the terminal  20  are capable of beamforming to transmit and receive signals. Furthermore, both the base station  10  and the terminal  20  may also apply MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communications to DL or UL. Furthermore, both the base station  10  and the terminal  20  may perform communication via a Secondary Cell (SCell) and a Primary Cell (PCell) Carrier Aggregation (CA). 
     The terminal  20  is a communication device provided with a radio communication function, such as a smartphone, a cellular phone, a tablet, a wearable terminal, a communication module for Machine-to-Machine (M2M), or the like. As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the terminal  20  utilizes various communication services provided by a radio communication system by receiving control signals or data in DP from the base station  10  and transmitting control signals or data in UL to the base station  10 . 
       FIG. 3  is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of terminal capability reporting according to an embodiment of the present invention. In step S 1  illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the base station  10  transmits a “UECapabilityEnquiry,” i.e., a query for UE capability to the terminal  20 . Subsequently, in step S 2 , the terminal  20  transmits “UECapabilityInformaton,” i.e., a UE capability report to the base station  10 . The “UECapability Information” includes UE capabilities supported by the terminal  20 . The base station  10  identifies the supported UE capability based on the received “UECapability information.” 
     For example, “UECapabilityInformation” includes an information element “RF-Parameters” that includes a radio parameter. The “RF-Parameters” includes an information element “modifiedMPR-Behaviour” that indicates capability on Maximum Power Reduction (MPR). The existing “modified MPR-Behaviour” is a bitmap indicating the correspondence between the same Network Signaling (NS) value indicating an additional spectrum emission and the specification used when a spectrum emission is modified. For example, a left end bit corresponds to the specification of a previous spectral emission, and the next bit corresponds to the specification of the modified spectral emission 
     Here, when a plurality of NS values is defined for a frequency band, during reporting the “modifedMPR-Behaviour” to the base station  10 , the terminal  20  is unable to indicate which one of the NS values corresponds to the modified spectrum emission. 
       FIG. 4  is a diagram for illustrating an example (1) of a terminal capability report according to an embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 4  is an example of reporting, by newly defined “modifiedMPR-Behavior,” a specification of a spectrum emission and a corresponding NS value in a bitmap per band. With this report, even if a plurality of NS values is defined for a frequency band, the terminal  20  is able to indicate the NS value that corresponds to the modified spectrum emission. For example, the bitmap per band may consist of 8 bits. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 4 , for band “n 41 ,” when a bit of index  0  that is the leftmost bit in the bitmap is set to 1, it is indicated that the NS value is “NS_  01 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC contiguous intraband MPR. Similarly, for band “n 41 ,” when a bit of index  1  in the bitmap is set to 1, it is indicated that the NS value is “NS_ 01 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC non-contiguous intraband MPR. Similarly, for band “n 41 ,” when a bit of index  2  in the bitmap is set to 1, it is indicated that the NS value is “NS_ 04 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC contiguous intraband MPR. 
     Similarly, for band “n 41 ,” when a bit of index  1  in the bitmap is set to 1, it is indicated that the NS value is “NS_ 04 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC non-contiguous intraband MPR. 
     Furthermore, as illustrated in  FIG. 4  as another example, for band “n 71 ,” when a bit of index  0  that the leftmost bit in the bitmap is set to 1, it indicated that the NS value is “NS_ 04 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC contiguous intraband MPR. Similarly, for band “n 7 l,” when a bit of index  1  in the bitmap is set to 1, it is indicated that the NS value is “NS_ 01 ” and the terminal  20  supports a predetermined specification on EN-DC contiguous intraband MPR. 
     The “modified MPR-Behaviour” illustrated in  FIG. 4  is included in the “RF-Parameters.” Furthermore, the “RF-Parameters” is included in the “UECapabilityInformation,” and the terminal  20  reports the “RF-Parameters” to the base station  10 , as illustrated in  FIG. 3 . 
       FIG. 5  is a diagram illustrating an example (2) of a terminal capability report according to an embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 5  is an example of reporting, by newly defined “SupportedAdditionalSpectrumEmission,” a specification of a spectrum emission and a corresponding NS value. With this report, even if a plurality of NS values is defined for a frequency band, by using the “SupportedAdditionalSpectrumEmission,” the terminal  20  is able to report to the base station  10  the NS value that corresponds to the modified spectrum emission. 
     In a band, the correspondence between a NS value and a supported additional spectrum emission is reported by using a bitmap. For example, for the band “n 41 ,” “NS_ 01 ” is mapped to index  0  in the bitmap, and “NS_ 04 ” is mapped to index  1  in the bitmap. When index  0  in the bitmap is set to 1, “NS_ 01 ” is supported as the additional spectrum emission in the band “n 41 ,” and when index  1  in the bitmap is set to 1, “NS_ 04 ” is supported as the additional spectrum emission in the band “n 41 .” Furthermore, for example, for the band “n 71 ,” “NS_ 01 ” =s mapped to index  0  in the bitmap, and “NS_ 35 ” is mapped to index  1  in the bitmap. When index  0  in the bitmap is set to 1, “NS_ 01 ” is supported as the additional spectrum emission in the band “n 71 ,” and when index  1  in the bitmap is set to 1, “NS_ 35 ” is supported as the additional spectrum emission in the band “n 71 .” 
     Here, if the terminal  20  supports an NS value mapped to an index other than index  0  in the bitmap of the additional spectral emission, new signaling of the terminal capability to report the “modifiedMPR-Behaviour” corresponding to the NS value is added. The information element “SupportedAdditionalSpectrumEmission” illustrated in  FIG. 5  includes an information element “supportedAdditionalNS-Value” and an information element “modifiedMPR-Behaviour”. The “supportedAdditionalNS-Value” corresponds to an index other than index  0  in the bit map of the additional spectrum emission supported by the terminal  20  and indicates a NS value. The “mpdifiedMPR-Behaviour” included in the “SupportedAdditionalSpectrumEmission” is a bitmap that indicates that a predetermined specification on MPR is supported that is for a case in which the additional spectrum emission corresponding to the NS value is modified. 
     Note that the index  0  of the bitmap of the additional spectral emission may be deemed as always supported by the terminal  20 . The “modifiedMPR-Behaviour” included directly under “BandNR” illustrated in  FIG. 5  is a bitmap that indicates that a predetermined specification on MPR is supported that is for a case in which the additional spectrum emission for the NS value corresponding to the index  0  in the bitmap of the additional spectrum emission is modified. 
     The “SupportedAdditonalSpectrumEmission” is included in the “RF-Parameters.” Furthermore, the “RF-Parameters” is included in the “UECapabilityInformation,” and the terminal  20  reports the “RF-Parameters” to the base station  10 , as illustrated in  FIG. 3 . 
     According to the above-described embodiments, when a plurality of NS values is defined in a frequency band, the terminal  20  is able to report, to the base station  10 , modification of a spectrum emission, while indicating that the modification of the spectrum emission corresponds to which one of the N values. 
     Namely, a network can obtain a detailed report on terminal capability in a radio communication system.

For example, the methods described in this disclosure present elements of various steps in an exemplary order and are not limited to the particular order presented. 
     The particular operation described in this specification to be performed by base station  10  may be performed by an upper node in some cases. It is apparent that in a network consisting of one or more network nodes having base stations  10 , various operations performed for communicating with terminal may be performed by at least one of the base stations  10  and network nodes other than the base stations  10  (e.g., MME or S-GW can be considered, however, the network node is not limited to these). The case is exemplified above in which there is one network node other than the base station  10 . However, the network node other than the base station  10  may be a combination of multiple other network nodes (e.g., MME and S-GW). 
     The information or signals described in this disclosure can be output from a higher layer (or lower layer) to a lower layer or higher layer). It may be input and output through multiple network nodes. 
     Input and output information or the like may be stored in a specific location (e.g., memory/or managed using management tables. Input and output information or the like may be overwritten, updated, or added. Output information or the like may be deleted. The input information or the like may be transmitted to another device. 
     The determination in the disclosure may be made by a value (0 or 1) represented by 1 bit, by a true or false value (Boolean: true or false), or by comparison of numerical values (e.g., a comparison with a predefined value).

     The terms described in this disclosure and those necessary for understanding this disclosure may be replaced by terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, at least one of the channels and the symbols may be a signal (signaling). The signal may also be a message. The component carrier may also be referred to as a carrier frequency, cell, frequency carrier, or the like. 
     As used in this disclosure, the terms “system” and “network” are used interchangeably. 
     The information, parameters, or the like described in the present disclosure may also be expressed using absolute values, relative values from predetermined values, or they may be expressed using corresponding separate information. For example, radio resources may be those indicated by an index. 
     The name used for the parameters described. above are not restrictive in any respect. In addition, the mathematical equations using these parameters may differ from those explicitly disclosed in this disclosure. Since the various channels (e.g., PUCCH or PDCCH) and information elements can be identified by any suitable name, the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not in any way limiting. 
     In this disclosure, the terms “Base Station,” “Radio Base Station,” “Fixed Station,” “NodeB,” “eNodeB(eNB),” “gNodeB (gMB),” “Access Point,” “Transmission Point,” “Reception Point,” “Transmission/Reception Point,” “Cell,” “Sector,” “Cell Group,” “Carrier,” “Component Carrier,” and the like may be used interchangeably. The base stations may be referred to in terms such as macro-cell, small-cell, femto-cell, pico-cell, or the like. 
     The base station can accommodate one or more (e.g., three) cells. Where the base station accommodates a plurality of cells, the entire coverage area of the base station can be divided into a plurality of smaller areas, each smaller area can also provide communication services by means of a base station subsystem (e.g., an indoor small base station (RRH) or a remote Radio Head). The term. “cell” or “sector” refers to a portion or all of the coverage area of at least one of the base station and base station subsystem that provides communication services at the coverage. 
     In this disclosure, terms such as “mobile station (MS: Mobile Station),” “user terminal,” “user equipment (UE: User Equipment),” “terminal,” and the like may be used interchangeably. 
     The mobile station may be referred to by one of ordinary skill in the art as a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communication device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, or some other suitable term.

At least one of a base station and a mobile station includes a device that does not necessarily move during communication operations. For example, at least one of a base station and a mobile station may be an Internet of Things (IoT) device such as a sensor. 
     In addition, the base station in the present disclosure may be read by the user terminal. For example, various aspects/embodiments of the present. disclosure may be applied to a configuration in which communication between the base stations and the user terminal is replaced with communication between multiple user terminals  20  (which may be referred to as Device-to-Device (D2D) or Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), for example). In this case, a configuration may be such that the above-described function of the base station  10  is included in the user terminal  20 . The terms “up” and “down” may also be replaced with the terms corresponding to terminal-to-terminal communication (e.g., “side”). For example, an uplink channel, a downlink channel, or the like may be replaced with a sidelink channel. 
     Similarly, the user terminal in the present disclosure may be replaced with the base station. In this case, a configuration may be such that the above-described function of the user terminal may be included in the base station. 
     The terms “determine (determining)” and “decide (determining)” used in this disclosure may include various types of operations.

Furthermore, “determining” and “deciding” may include deeming that a result of resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, or comparing is determined or decided. Namely, “determining” and “deciding” may include deeming that some operation is determined or decided. “Determine (decision)” may be replaced with “assuming,” “expected,” or “considering.” 
     The term “connected” or “coupled” or any variation thereof means any direct or indirect connection or connection between two or more elements and may include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements “connected” or “coupled” with each other. The coupling or connection between the elements may be physical, logical, or a combination of these. For example, “connection” may be replaced with “access”. As used in the present disclosure, the two elements may be considered as being “connected” or “coupled” to each other using at least one of the one or more wires, cables, and printed electrical connections and, as a number of non-limiting and non-inclusive examples, electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the radio frequency region, the microwave region, and the light (both visible and invisible) region. 
     The reference signal may be abbreviated as RS (Reference Signal) or may be referred to as a pilot, depending on the standards applied. 
     As used in this disclosure, the expression “based on” does not mean “based on only” unless otherwise specified. In other words, the expression “based on” means both “based on only” and “at least based on.” 
     Any reference to elements using names, such as “first” and “second,” as used in this disclosure does not generally limit the amount or order of those elements. These names can be used in this specification as a convenient way to distinguish between two or more elements. Accordingly, the reference to the first and second elements does not imply that only two elements can be adopted, or that the first element must precede the second element in some way. 
     The “means” in the configuration of each of the above-described devices may be replaced with “part,” “circuit,” or “device.” 
     As long as “include,” “including,” and variations thereof are used in this disclosure, the terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.” Furthermore, the term “ r” used in the disclosure is intended not to be an exclusive OR. 
     A radio frame may be formed of one or more frames in the time domain. In the time domain, each of the one or more frames may be referred to as a subframe. A. subframe may further be formed of one or more slots in the time domain. A. subframe may be a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that does not depend on numerology. 
     The numerology may be a communication parameter to be applied to at least one of transmission or reception of a signal or a channel. The numerology may represent, for example, at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS: SubCarrier Spacing), a bandwidth, a symbol length, a cyclic prefix length, a transmission time interval (TTI: Transmission Time Interval), a symbol number per TTI, a radio frame configuration, a specific filtering process performed by a transceiver in a frequency domain, a specific windowing process performed by a transceiver in a time domain, or the like. 
     A slot may be formed of, in a time domain, one or more symbols (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols, or the like). A slot may be a unit of time based on the numerology. 
     A slot may include a plurality of mini-slots. In a time domain, each mini-slot may be formed of one or more symbols. A mini-slot may also be referred to as a sub-slot. A mini-slot may be formed of fewer symbols than those of a slot. The PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a unit of time that is greater than a mini-slot may be referred to as PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. The PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a mini-slot may be referred to as PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B. 
     Each of the radio frame, subframe, slot, mini-slot, and symbol represents a time unit for transmitting a signal. The radio frame, subframe, slot, mini-slot, and symbol may be called by respective different names. 
     For example, one subframe may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI: Transmission Time Interval), a plurality of consecutive subframes may be referred to as TTI, or one slot or one mini-slot may be referred to as TTI. Namely, at least one of a subframe and TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in the existing LTE, may be a time interval shorter than 1 ms (e.g., 1 to 13 symbols), or a time interval longer than 1 ms. Note that the unit representing the TTI may be referred to as a slot, a mini-slot, or the like, instead of a subframe. 
     Here, the TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit of scheduling in radio communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling for allocating radio resources (such as a frequency bandwidth, transmission power, or the like that can be used in each terminal  20 ) in units of TTIs to each terminal  20 , Note that the definition of the TTI is not limited to this. 
     The TTI may be a transmission time unit, such as a channel coded data packet (transport block), a code block, a codeword, or may be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, or the like. Note that, when a TTI is provided, a time interval (e.g., a symbol number) onto which a transport block, a code block, or a code word is actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI. 
     Note that, when one slot or one mini-slot is referred to as a TTI, one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more slots or one or more mini-slots) may be the minimum time unit of scheduling. Additionally, the number of slots (the number of mini-slots) forming the minimum time unit of scheduling may be controlled. 
     A TTI with a time length of 1 ms may be referred to as an ordinary (TTI in LTE Rel. 8-12), a normal TTI, a long TTI, an ordinary subframe, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a slot, or the like. A TTI that is shorter than a normal TTI may be referred to as a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI (partial TTI or fractional TTI), a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini-slot, a sub-slot, a slot, or the like. 
     Note that a long TTI (e.g., a normal TTI, or a subframe) may be replaced with a with a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (e.g., a shortened TTI) may be replaced with a with a TTI length that is shorter than the TTI length of the long TTI and longer than or equal to 1 ms. 
     A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. A number of subcarriers included in a RB may be the same irrespective of numerology, and may be 12, for example. The number of subcarriers included in a RB may be determined. based on numerology. 
     Additionally, the resource block may include one or more symbols in the time domain, and may have a length of one slot, one mini-slot, one subframe, or one TTI. Each of one TTI and one subframe may be formed of one or more resource blocks. 
     Note that one or more RBs may be referred to as a physical resource block (PRB: Physical RB), a subcarrier group (SCG: Sub-Carrier Group), a resource element group (REG: Resource Element Group), a PRB pair, a RB pair, or the like. 
     Additionally, a resource block may be formed of one or more resource elements (RE: Resource Element). For example, 1 RE may be a radio resource area of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol. 
     A bandwidth part (BWP: Bandwidth Part) (which may also be referred to as a partial bandwidth) may represent, in a certain carrier, a subset of consecutive common RB (common resource blocks) for a certain numerology. Here, the common RB may be specified by an index of a RB when a common reference point of the carrier is used as a reference. A PRB may be defined in a BWP, and may be numbered in the BWP. 
     The BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP). For a UE, one or more BWPs may be configured within one carrier. 
     At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the UE is may not assume that a predetermined signal/channel is communicated outside the active BWP. Note that “cell,” “carrier,” or the like in the present disclosure may be replaced with “BWP.” 
     The structures of the above-described radio frame, subframe, slot, mini-slot, symbol, and the like are only for illustration. For example, the following configurations can be variously changed: the number of subframes included in the radio frame; the number of slots per subframe or radio frame; the number of mini-slots included in the slot; the number of symbols and RBs included in the slot or mini-slot; the number of subcarriers included in the RB; and the number of symbols, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP: Cyclic Prefix) length, or the like within the TTI. 
     In the present disclosure, for example, if an article is added by translation, such as a, an, and the in English, the present disclosure may include that the noun following the article is plural. 
     In the present disclosure, the term “A and B are different” may imply that “A. and B are different from each other.” Note that the term may also imply “each of A and B is different from C.” The terms, such as “separated,” “coupled,” or the like may also be interpreted similarly. 
     The aspects/embodiments described in this disclosure may be used alone, in combination, or switched with implementation. Notification of predetermined information (e.g. “X” notice) is not limited to a method that is explicitly performed, and may also be made implicitly (e. “no notice of the predetermined information”). 
     In this disclosure, UECapabilityEnquiry is an example of information for requesting a terminal capability report. UECapabilityInformation is an example of a terminal capability report. The NS value is an example of a value indicative of an additional spectrum emission. The modifiedMPR-Behavior is an example of a modification in a spectrum emission. 
     SupportedAdditionalSpectrumEmission is an example of the second information. The index  0  in the bitmap of the additional spectrum emission is an example of a value indicating the additional spectral radiation that is always supported. 
     While the present disclosure is described in detail above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The disclosure may be implemented as modifications and variations without departing from the gist and scope of the disclosure as defined by the claims. Accordingly, the description of the present disclosure is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to have any restrictive meaning with respect to the present disclosure.
