Abstract

A communication control method in a mobile communication system, comprises a step A of transmitting, by a first radio communication device to a second radio communication device, information on whether to perform an early data transmission which transmits data using a predetermined message during a random access procedure, and a step B of determining, by the second radio communication device, after the second radio communication device receives the information, whether to perform the early data transmission based on the received information. The first radio communication device is one of a radio terminal and a base station, and the second radio communication device is the other of the radio terminal and the base station. The step A is performed earlier than transmission timing of the predetermined message.
