the related art does not specify what happens to the RLM (or BFD) timer or counter when some or all RSs or RS sets are reset, or some or all BWPs are reconfigured or reset.

Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a state detection method and a configuration method for network communication, a terminal, and a network device, to resolve a problem in a related art that reliability of network communication cannot be guaranteed, as there is not a solution to determine, when there are a plurality of RLM processes or a plurality of BFD processes for a plurality of RSs, BWPs, cells, and the like, which RLM process or which BFD process a terminal uses.

To resolve the foregoing technical problem, the following solutions are used in this disclosure.

According to a first aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a state detection method for network communication, applied to a terminal, including:

obtaining a monitoring configuration parameter of a reference state, where the monitoring configuration parameter includes at least one set of reference state configuration parameters; and

performing, based on the monitoring configuration parameter, a detection process corresponding to the reference state, where

the reference state includes radio link monitor RLM and/or beam failure detection BFD.

According to a second aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a detection configuration method for network communication, applied to a network device, including:

sending a monitoring configuration parameter of a reference state to a terminal, where the monitoring configuration parameter includes at least one set of reference state configuration parameters; and
