1. A reference signal sending method, wherein the method is used in a plurality of cycles whose cycle lengths are a first cycle length, the plurality of cycles comprise a first cycle and a second cycle, the first cycle and the second cycle each comprise M first durations, the first duration comprises N paging occasions, and location distribution of paging occasions in the first cycle is the same as location distribution of paging occasions in the second cycle, wherein M is a positive integer, and N is a positive integer greater than 1, and the method comprises:
determining, by a network device, a first target paging occasion that is in an mth first duration of the first cycle, wherein a relative location of the first target paging occasion in the first cycle is different from a relative location of a second target paging occasion in the second cycle, the second target paging occasion is a target paging occasion in an mth first duration of the second cycle, and m is any positive integer less than or equal to M;
determining, by the network device based on the first target paging occasion, a time domain resource that is in the mth first duration of the first cycle, wherein the time domain resource is a time domain resource of a time-frequency resource used to transmit a reference signal; and
sending, by the network device, the reference signal to a terminal device on the time-frequency resource.
