1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
transmitting, by a network device, a first message comprising an indication of a pre-configured terminal-specific dedicated resource for a communication between the network device and a terminal device that is in an idle mode,
wherein the pre-configured terminal-specific dedicated resource indicates a monitoring duration or a monitoring start time for a dedicated search space, wherein the monitoring start time is accurate to a second or a frame boundary,
wherein, in the idle mode, the terminal device has no established Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection; and
receiving, by the network device, information from the terminal device in the idle mode using the pre-configured terminal-specific dedicated resource.
