A channel listening method, applied in a scenario in which a User Equipment, UE, with positioning capability and a UE without positioning capability coexist in a coverage area of a base station, the channel listening method comprising: receiving, by a UE, network configuration information transmitted by the base station, the network configuration information comprising at least a duration of a random access contention resolution timer; determining, by the UE, initial offset time of the random access contention resolution timer, and starting to listen to a Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, at a first time symbol after the initial offset time is reached, the duration of the random access contention resolution timer being a longest time for listening to the PDCCH, characterized in that, the network configuration information comprises a first duration and a second duration of the random access contention resolution timer, the first duration being greater than the second duration, and the network configuration information further comprises an initial time offset of the random access contention resolution timer, when the UE is the UE with positioning capability, the initial offset time of the random access contention resolution timer is determined by the UE with positioning capability based on a signal Round Trip Time, RTT, between a position of the UE with positioning capability and the base station, and the second duration is the longest time for the UE with positioning capability to listen to the PDCCH, and when the UE is the UE without positioning capability, the initial offset time of the random access contention resolution timer is determined by the UE without positioning capability based on the initial time offset of the random access contention resolution timer carried in the network configuration information, and the first duration is the longest time for the UE without positioning capability to listen to the PDCCH, the first duration being determined by the base station based on a transmission delay, the transmission delay being determined by the base station based on a difference between a signal RTT between a first position and the base station and a signal RTT between a second position and the base station, time for processing Message 3, Msg3, in random access, and time for scheduling Message 4, Msg4, in the random access, the first position is a ground position closest to the base station within a ground range covered by the base station, and the second position is a ground position farthest from the base station within the ground range covered by the base station. receiving, by a UE, network configuration information transmitted by the base station, the network configuration information comprising at least a duration of a random access contention resolution timer;
