For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S201+S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0168] In some embodiments, steps S201 and S202 can be exchanged in order or executed simultaneously.

[0169] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0171] In some embodiments, other optional embodiments described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 can be referred to.

[0172] In the related art, a network device needs to send periodic information to a terminal, such as a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel signal block (SSB), a system information block 1 (SIB1), and the like. In new radio (NR), the time domain position of SSB and SIB1 transmission can be semi-statically configured periodic transmission. Even if the number of terminals under the network device is small or the service load is extremely low, the network device still needs to periodically send SSB and SIB1 so that the terminal can complete time-frequency synchronization, automatic gain control (AGC) settling, secondary cell activation (scell activation), and the like, and obtain system information. The periodic mandatory downlink signal will undoubtedly reduce the opportunity for the network device to enter the sleep state. In different configuration / deployment scenarios, the time domain resource ratio of SSB and SIB1 can be as high as 17.14%, which will cause the network device to have no opportunity to enter the sleep state, greatly limiting the network device to adopt energy-saving technologies and increasing the operating cost of the network.

[0173] In addition, for paging, the network device needs to ensure that all terminals on all beams can timely detect and receive paging, and therefore must periodically send paging, which will also cause the network device to be unable to timely enter the sleep state.

[0174] For a physical random access channel (PRACH), in order to reduce the random access delay, the network device needs to attempt to detect the PRACH at each valid random access channel occasion (RO) corresponding to the PRACH resource configured by the SIB1, which will also cause the network device to be unable to timely enter the energy-saving state.

[0175] In order to increase the opportunity for the network device to enter the sleep state, the network device can adjust the time domain position of the above signals and / or channels by sending corresponding indication information to the terminal.
