Abstract
This application provides a physical downlink control channel monitoring method and an apparatus. The method includes: determining that a first monitoring capability of a terminal device is used to monitor a physical downlink control channels of a cell set of the terminal device, determining N non-overlapping time units of the cell set in one slot, where a start location of each of the N time units is based on a span of a cell in the cell set, and allocating the first monitoring capability in the cell set based on the N time units to separately monitor a physical downlink control channel of each cell in the cell set, so that in a carrier aggregation (CA) scenario, the terminal can monitor a physical downlink control channel at a granularity of a span.
