1. A method for a terminal to access a network, applied to the terminal and comprising:
receiving idle timeslot information, sent by a gateway to be accessed in a current timeslot, of the gateway to be accessed;
parsing a quantity of timeslots between the current timeslot and a latest idle timeslot from the idle timeslot information;
determining a dormancy duration of the terminal according to the quantity of timeslots; and
sending a network access request to the gateway to be accessed after the terminal is dormant until the latest idle timeslot according to the dormancy duration;
wherein the determining the dormancy duration of the terminal according to the quantity of timeslots comprises:
determining the dormancy duration of the terminal according to a relational expression t=T(X−1)/N;
wherein t represents the dormancy duration of the terminal, T represents a total duration of a set protocol period between the terminal and the gateway to be accessed, N represents a total quantity of timeslots in the set protocol period, and X represents the quantity of timeslots between the current timeslot and the latest idle timeslot.
