A user terminal is used in a mobile communication system configured to support Device to Device (D2D) communication that is direct device-to-device communication. The user terminal comprises a controller. The controller is configured to, if determining to execute a D2D discovery procedure targeted to a user terminal out of a cell coverage, execute the D2D discovery procedure by using a D2D data resource in a pre-configured resource pool for D2D communication. The controller is configured to execute, upon executing the D2D discovery procedure, a process of transmitting identification information indicating that data carried by the D2D data resource is used for the D2D discovery procedure.
