Abstract

A paging monitoring method, performed by a terminal, includes receiving first and second paging monitoring configuration information, using a first receiver to perform paging monitoring using a first paging monitoring period, and using a second receiver to perform paging monitoring using a second paging monitoring period, and triggering the first receiver to perform paging monitoring within the second paging monitoring period, in cases where, within the second paging monitoring period, a condition for triggering the first receiver to perform paging monitoring is satisfied. The first paging monitoring period is greater than the second paging monitoring period, and power consumption of the first receiver is greater than power consumption of the second receiver. The first and second paging monitoring configuration information is configured to use the first and second receiver to perform paging monitoring using the first and second paging monitoring period, respectively.
