determining a source UE identifier and the destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling; and

in response to determining that the source UE identifier contained in the received signaling is the same as the source identifier and the destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling is the same as the destination identifier, starting the inactivity timer and

monitoring the sidelink resource pool indicated by the sidelink resource pool information during the running period of the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the received signaling is sidelink control information (SCI).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX configuration information further comprises, sidelink resource pool information and the destination identifier;

wherein the method further comprises:

determining a destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling; and

in response to determining that the destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling corresponds to the destination identifier, starting the inactivity timer

and monitoring the sidelink resource pool indicated by the sidelink resource pool information during the running period of the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX configuration information further comprises sidelink resource pool information; in response to determining that the DRX configuration information does not include a source identifier or a destination identifier,

the method further comprises:

determining the destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling; and

in response to determining that the destination UE identifier contained in the received signaling corresponds to any one of destination identifiers of the first UE, starting the inactivity timer

and monitoring the sidelink resource pool indicated by the sidelink resource pool information during the running period of the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX configuration information further comprises duration information of an on-duration timer; the duration information of the on-duration timer indicates a running duration of the on-duration timer;

monitoring the sidelink resource pool indicated by sidelink resource pool information during running periods of the on-duration timer and the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information, wherein the DRX configuration information comprises the sidelink resource pool information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX configuration information further comprises duration information of an on-duration timer; the duration information of the on-duration timer indicates a running duration of the on-duration timer;

wherein the method further comprises:

monitoring all configured sidelink resource pools during running periods of the on-duration timer and the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information, wherein the DRX configuration information does not comprise sidelink resource pool information.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX configuration information further comprises sidelink resource pool information, and sidelink transmission mode information;

wherein the method further comprises:

in response to determining that a sidelink transmission mode indicated in a received signaling is the same as the sidelink transmission mode indicated by the DRX configuration information, starting the inactivity timer

and monitoring the sidelink resource pool indicated by the sidelink resource pool information during the running period of the inactivity timer of each set of the DRX configuration information.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

not monitoring the sidelink resource pool in response to determining that the timer is not in a running state.
