1. A communication method applicable to a terminal device, the method comprising:
receiving configuration information that identifies a plurality of monitoring occasions in each paging message;
monitoring a paging message for a time period comprising the plurality of monitoring occasions for a presence of control information sent from a cell,
wherein the time period overlaps in time with a synchronization signal block burst set of the cell in the paging message,
wherein the monitoring occasions are occasions in the time period that allow for monitoring for the control information without interference from the synchronization signal block burst set, and
wherein the control information indicates to the terminal device whether to monitor a paging occasion in the plurality of paging occasions; and
determining, based on the control information, whether to monitor the paging occasion,
wherein the time period comprises at least one time unit in which the synchronization signal block burst set of the cell is located, or the time period is adjacent to time units in which the synchronization signal block burst set is located, and
wherein the synchronization signal block burst set is located in front of the paging occasion in a time domain.
