Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a terminal from a base station, a configuration comprising information about at least three on-duration time lengths of discontinuous reception, and the at least three on-duration time lengths comprise a first on-duration time length, a second on-duration time length and a third on-duration time length, and the first on-duration time length is used in a first discontinuous reception cycle, the second on-duration time length is used in a second discontinuous reception cycle, and the third on-duration time length is used in a third discontinuous reception cycle; starting, by the terminal, a discontinuous reception in the first on-duration time length in the first discontinuous reception cycle; switching, by the terminal, the first on-duration time length into the second on-duration time length once a time length of using the first discontinuous reception cycle reaches a first time length; switching, by the terminal, the second on-duration time length into the third on-duration time length once a time length of using the second discontinuous reception cycle reaches a second time length; and performing, by the terminal, the discontinuous reception in the third discontinuous reception cycle according to the third on-duration time length.
