1. An information receiving method, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, by a terminal device, first downlink control information (DCI) sent by a network device, wherein the first DCI carries first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate data transmission, and the second indication information is used to indicate an operation mode of an inactivity timer in discontinuous reception DRX; and
determining, by the terminal device, the operation mode of the inactivity timer based on the second indication information of the first DCI;
wherein the operation mode of the inactivity timer comprises any one of the following: starting timing, stopping timing, resetting timing, or continuing timing; and
wherein the second indication information is explicitly indicated in the first DCI, and the first DCI is used to schedule new data transmission or data retransmission; and a new data indicator (NIDI) field in the first DCI carries the first indication information, and a field in the first DCI other than the NDI field carries the second indication information.
