A user terminal according to an embodiment includes a receiver that receives a list transmitted from a base station, the list including discovery resource configurations; and a controller that selects a discovery resource configuration from among the discovery resource configurations, and uses the selected discovery resource configuration to directly transmit a discovery signal to other user terminals. Each of the discovery resource configurations includes: time resource information indicating time resources used for transmitting a discovery signal and including a variable number substituted into a mathematical expression; frequency resource information indicating frequency resources used for transmitting the discovery signal and including a range of continuous resource block numbers; and power information indicating transmission power used for transmitting the discovery signal.
