wherein the GNSS measurement time comprises: a GNSS measurement interval. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, wherein performing, by the terminal device, the GNSS measurement within the GNSS measurement time, comprises: when the GNSS position fix is not completed within the GNSS measurement time, entering, by the terminal device, an idle state; and continuing, by the terminal device, the GNSS position fix. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein after the terminal device stops the second timer and starts the GNSS measurement, the method further comprises: when the terminal device completes GNSS position fix within the GNSS measurement time, restarting, by the terminal device, the second timer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein after the terminal device acquires the system information within the valid time of the second timer and a condition that a GNSS position of the terminal is valid is satisfied, the terminal device resumes uplink synchronization with a network device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein when the terminal device does not acquire the system information within the valid time of the second timer, the method further comprises: triggering, by the terminal device, a radio link failure (RLF). ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the terminal device, configuration information transmitted by a network device, wherein the configuration information comprises first timer information for running of the first timer and second timer information for running of the second timer. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first timer comprises: a T317 timer; and the second timer comprises: a T318 timer; or the system information at least comprises: a system information block (SIB) 31. ### Claim 11 A method for resolving a conflict between a measurement and a communication of a terminal device, wherein the method comprises: determining, by the terminal device, starting time of a second timer and/or a duration of the second timer, when a first timer times out, in a case where the terminal device starts a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement, wherein the second timer is used by the terminal device to acquire system information within valid time of the second timer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein after the terminal device starts the GNSS measurement, the terminal device performs the GNSS measurement within GNSS measurement time; wherein the GNSS measurement time comprises: a GNSS measurement interval. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method according to claim 12, wherein performing, by the terminal device, the GNSS measurement within the GNSS measurement time, comprises: when GNSS position fix is not completed within the GNSS measurement time, entering, by the terminal device, an idle state; continuing, by the terminal device, the GNSS position fix. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method according to claim 12, further comprising: starting, by the terminal device, the second timer, when completing the GNSS position fix. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14, wherein after the terminal device starts the second timer, when the terminal determines to trigger the GNSS measurement, the method further comprises: stopping, by the terminal device, the second timer, and starting the GNSS measurement. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14, wherein after the terminal device acquires the system information within the valid time of the second timer and a condition that a GNSS position of the terminal is valid is satisfied, the terminal device resumes uplink synchronization with a network device. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14, wherein when the terminal device does not acquire the system information within the valid time of the second timer, the method further comprises: triggering, by the terminal device, a radio link failure (RLF). ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14, further comprising: receiving, by the terminal device, configuration information transmitted by a network device, wherein the configuration information comprises first timer information for running of the first timer and second timer information for running of the second timer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The method according to claim 14, wherein the first timer comprises: a T317 timer; and the second timer comprises: a T318 timer; or the system information at least comprises: a system information block (SIB) 31. ### Claim 20 A terminal device, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory, to cause the terminal device to perform: determining whether to start a second timer according to whether the terminal device is in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement period, in a case where a first timer times out, wherein the second timer is used by the terminal device to acquire system information within valid time of the second timer.
