1. A signal monitoring method, comprising:
receiving, by a terminal device, a downlink signal; and
monitoring, by the terminal device, a first type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor a second type of signal when monitoring the first type of signal, and wherein the first type of signal is downlink control information (DCI) and the first type of signal indicates power consumption reduction information, and the second type of signal is DCI with a different format from the first type of signal and the second type of signal indicates data scheduling; and
monitoring, by the terminal device, the second type of signal in the downlink signal, wherein the terminal device does not monitor the first type of signal when monitoring the second type of signal.
