5. A terminal comprising:
a receiver configured to receive, from a first base station, a message requesting a report of terminal capability;
a processor configured to include, in a message reporting terminal capability, based on the message requesting the report of terminal capability, a capability related to the first base station, a capability related to a second base station, and a capability related to dual connectivity that uses the first base station and the second base station; and
a transmitter configured to transmit, to the first base station, the message reporting terminal capability,
wherein the receiver and the transmitter perform communications via dual connectivity using band combinations preferable in the first base station and the second base station, respectively, and
wherein the processor arranges the band combinations included in the candidate list, in an order determined from a viewpoint in the first base station.
