wherein the switching a reception mode of the terminal from a first reception mode to a second reception mode when a reception mode switching event occurs comprises:
when a default downlink bandwidth part (default Downlink BWP)-related timer of the terminal expires, determining that the reception mode switching event occurs, and switching the reception mode of the terminal from the first reception mode to the second reception mode; and
transmitting to a network side related information of the second reception mode that is switched to;
wherein skipping switching the reception mode of the terminal when the reception mode switching event does not occur comprises:
when the default downlink BWP-related timer of the terminal does not expire, determining that the reception mode switching event does not occur, and skipping adjusting the reception mode of the terminal,
wherein the first reception mode corresponds to a first quantity of receiving elements of the terminal, and the second reception mode corresponds to a second quantity of receiving elements of the terminal; wherein the receiving element is a receive antenna, a receive antenna port, a receiving port, a receiving channel, a receiving radio frequency channel, or a receive antenna panel.
