1. A power-saving signal configuration method, comprising:
configuring, by a base station, search space set configuration information for a power-saving signal, wherein the search space set configuration information for the power-saving signal comprises at least one of first configuration information or second configuration information, the first configuration information is search space set configuration information for the power-saving signal used when a terminal is in a short discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and the second configuration information is search space set configuration information for the power-saving signal used when the terminal is in a long DRX cycle; and
sending, by the base station, the search space set configuration information for the power-saving signal to the terminal;
wherein the method comprises at least one of the following modes: the first configuration information comprises a first monitoring occasion offset or a first time offset, the first monitoring occasion offset is a monitoring occasion offset for the power-saving signal used when the terminal is in the short DRX cycle, and the first time offset is a time offset from a monitoring occasion for the power-saving signal used when the terminal is in the short DRX cycle to the short DRX cycle; or
the second configuration information comprises a second monitoring occasion offset or a second time offset, the second monitoring occasion offset is a monitoring occasion offset for the power-saving signal used when the terminal is in the long DRX cycle, and the second time offset is a time offset from a monitoring occasion for the power-saving signal used when the terminal is in the long DRX cycle to the long DRX cycle.
