Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a channel monitoring indication method. The exemplary method includes monitoring a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The method further includes determining, according to the scheduling downlink control information (DCI), whether to monitor a second PDCCH if scheduling DCI is received from the first PDCCH. The method also includes monitoring the second PDCCH according to received target signaling if the scheduling DCI is not received from the first PDCCH. The target signaling is different from the scheduling DCI. The target signaling is further used to indicate a monitoring parameter associated with the second PDCCH. The method additionally includes monitoring the second PDCCH after the first transmission time according to the received target signaling.
