1. A terminal comprising:
a transmitting unit configured to transmit information indicating an operation of discontinuous reception by another terminal to the another terminal that performs the discontinuous reception; and
a control unit configured to control a timing of transmitting an RRC message to the another terminal via an interface between terminals, based on a specific timing determined based on the information, the specific timing being a specific timing at which the another terminal performs at least one of reception or sensing,
wherein the control unit autonomously determines a resource for transmitting the RRC message.
