9. 9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising: determining, based on the first indication information, a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging.
10. 10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising: sending request information to the first base station, in response to the reason at least including that the first SIM card is performing a communication with the first base station; wherein the request information is configured to request the first base station to instruct the first SIM card to suspend the communication; and continuing to page the terminal in response to determining, based on response information from the first base station, that the first SIM card suspends the communication with the first base station.
11. 11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein suspending the paging to the terminal comprises: determining, based on the first indication information, a duration during which the terminal does not respond to the paging; and suspending the paging to the terminal within the duration.
12. 12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising: sending fourth indication information to a core network triggering the second base station to page the terminal; wherein the fourth indication information is configured to indicate that the terminal paged by the second base station has received the paging from the second base station, but the terminal does not respond to the paging.
13. 13 . An indication method, performed by a terminal, wherein the terminal at least comprises a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card and a second SIM card; the method comprises: receiving, by the second SIM card, a paging from a second base station during a communication between the first SIM card and a first base station; and sending second indication information to the first base station through the first SIM card, in response to determining not to respond to the paging; wherein the second indication information is configured to indicate that the terminal has received the paging, but the terminal does not respond to the paging.
14. 14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second indication information is configured to further indicate at least one of: information of the second SIM card; information of the second base station; a reason for not responding to the paging; or a duration during which the paging is not responded to; wherein determining not to respond to the paging based on at least one of: service information of the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station; or service information corresponding to the paging.
15. 15 .

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a U.S. national phase application of International Application No. PCT/CN2021/086287, filed on Apr. 9, 2021, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. TECHNICAL FIELD The disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an indication method, a paging control method, an indication apparatus, a paging control apparatus, a communication device and a computer-readable storage medium. BACKGROUND In a multi-card terminal, multiple Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards can be included, and the terminal can communicate through the multiple SIM cards. However, during a communication process, communication conflicts may occur between multiple SIM cards. For example, when a first SIM card (denoted by SIM card #1) of a terminal communicates with a base station (denoted by base station A), a second SIM card (denoted by SIM card #2) of the terminal receives a paging from another base station (denoted by base station B). In this case, the terminal may decide not to respond to the paging from the base station B for keeping the communication between the SIM card #1 and the base station A uninterrupted. However, this inaction will cause the base station B to mistakenly determine that there is a problem with the paging, and thus continue paging the SIM card #2 and even increase the paging power, resulting in a waste of the resources of the base station B. SUMMARY According to a first aspect, an indication method is provided. The method is performed by a first base station. The method includes: sending first indication information to a second base station;in which the first indication information is configured to indicate that a terminal paged by the second base station has received a paging from the second base station, but the terminal does not respond to the paging. According to a second aspect, a paging control method is provided. The method is performed by a second base station. The method includes: receiving first indication information sent by a first base station; andsuspending a paging to a terminal, in response to determining, based on the first indication information, that the terminal has received the paging from the second base station, but the terminal does not respond to the paging. According to a third aspect, an indication method is provided. The method is performed by a terminal at least including a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card and a second SIM card. The method includes: receiving, by the second SIM card, a paging from a second base station during a communication between the first SIM card and a first base station; andsending second indication information to the first base station through the first SIM card in response to determining not to respond to the paging;in which, the second indication information is configured to indicate that the terminal has received the paging, but the terminal does not respond to the paging.
