Communication method, communications device, and network device

A communication method, comprising:

• receiving, by a communications device, configuration information of a configured grant timer and configuration information of an uplink retransmission timer that are sent by a network device;
• determining, by the communications device, a stopping time of the uplink retransmission timer based on a running status of the configured grant timer, wherein discontinuous reception (DRX) of the communications device is in an active state when the uplink retransmission timer is running;
• and
• monitoring, by the communications device, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) when the DRX of the communications device is in the active state.

A communications device, comprising:

• a non-transitory memory storage comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communications device to:
• receive configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the configuration information comprises a sending resource of a beam failure recovery request, and the sending resource is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a media access control control element (MAC CE);
• when a beam failure occurs in a secondary cell of the communications device, send the beam failure recovery request to the network device using the PUCCH or the MAC CE;
• and
• determine an active state time of DRX based on a status of the beam failure recovery request, the active state time of the DRX being a time duration starting after a first time after the beam failure recovery request is sent;
• and
• wherein the instructions cause the communications device further to:
• when sending the beam failure recovery request using the PUCCH, and when the beam failure recovery request is suspended, determine that a time duration in which the beam failure recovery request is in a suspended state is the active state time of the DRX.
