A base station apparatus includes a processor. The processor executes a process including obtaining information indicating a radio status of each mobile station apparatus relevant to first communication in which radio communication is performed between the mobile station apparatuses via the base station apparatus, and second communication in which radio communication is directly performed between the mobile station apparatuses without via the base station apparatus; and notifying, based on the obtained information, the mobile station apparatuses that perform the second communication of control information for controlling the second communication.
