1. A method for timer control, comprising;
starting a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer, wherein a terminal retains in a DRX active state before expiration of the DRX timer to ensure that a preset communication is performed and enters a DRX inactive state after the expiration of the DRX timer;
in response to an interruption of the preset communication, suspending the DRX timer that is currently running to avoid the DRX timer from timing out during the interruption of the preset communication; and
in response to a resumption of the preset communication, continuing to run the DRX timer to keep the terminal in the DRX active state.
