1. A communication method, comprising:
receiving configuration information from a network device, wherein the configuration information indicates a first time-frequency resource, and the first time-frequency resource cannot be used to transmit a downlink data channel and a demodulation reference signal for the downlink data channel; and
if indication information is received from the network device, determining to monitor at least one first downlink control channel candidate, wherein the at least one first downlink control channel candidate overlaps the first time-frequency resource; or
if the indication information is not received from the network device, determining not to monitor a first downlink control channel candidate, wherein the first downlink control channel candidate overlaps the first time-frequency resource;
wherein the indication information indicates to monitor the first downlink control channel candidate.
