wherein the capability that the UE has is a sum of parameters corresponding to a capability allocated by the UE to one or more networks including the current network and a remaining capability that has not been allocated; issuing to the UE a capability request for increasing the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, in response to determining that the capability allocated by the UE to the current network does not satisfy a capability required by the current network; and performing a communication service according to the capability parameters for the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, in response to that the capability allocated by the UE to the current network satisfies the capability required by the current network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the capability request carries indication information for indicating a capability required by the current network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: receiving a capability acknowledgement message, wherein the capability acknowledgement message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is approved; or, receiving a capability rejection message, wherein the capability rejection message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is rejected. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising: configuring a capability occupation timer, according to information of the capability occupation timer carried in the capability acknowledgement message; and releasing an occupied UE capability, in response to expiration of the capability occupation timer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising: before the expiration of the capability occupation timer, re-issuing the capability request; receiving a re-reported capability acknowledgement message based on the re-issued capability request; and reconfiguring the capability occupation timer, according to the re-reported capability acknowledgement message. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising: configuring a capability rejection timer, according to information of the capability rejection timer carried in the capability rejection message; wherein the capability request is not issued until expiration of the capability rejection timer. ### Claim 7 A method for processing capability parameters, performed by user equipment (UE) and comprising: reporting two sets of capability parameters to a network device, wherein one set of the two sets of capability parameters comprise capability parameters for a capability that the UE has, and another set of the two sets of capability parameters comprise capability parameters for a capability allocated by the UE to a current network; wherein the capability that the UE has is a sum of parameters corresponding to a capability allocated by the UE to one or more networks including the current network and a remaining capability that has not been allocated; receiving, from the network device, a capability request for increasing the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, when the capability allocated by the UE to the current network does not satisfy a capability required by the current network; and performing a communication service according to the capability parameters for the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, when the capability allocated by the UE to the current network satisfies the capability required by the current network. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the capability request carries indication information for indicating a capability required by the current network. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: transmitting a capability acknowledgement message, wherein the capability acknowledgement message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is approved; or, transmitting a capability rejection message, wherein the capability rejection message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is rejected. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: transmitting a capability release request. ### Claim 11 A network device, comprising: an antenna; a memory; a processor connected to the antenna and the memory, and configured to control the antenna to transmit and receive wireless signals by executing an executable program stored in the memory, and configured to: receive two sets of capability parameters that are reported by user equipment (UE), wherein one set of the two sets of capability parameters comprise capability parameters for a capability that the UE has, and another set of the two sets of capability parameters comprise capability parameters for a capability allocated by the UE to a current network; wherein the capability that the UE has is a sum of parameters corresponding to a capability allocated by the UE to one or more networks including the current network and a remaining capability that has not been allocated; issue to the UE a capability request for increasing the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, in response to determining that the capability allocated by the UE to the current network does not satisfy a capability required by the current network; and perform a communication service according to the capability parameters for the capability allocated by the UE to the current network, in response to that the capability allocated by the UE to the current network satisfies the capability required by the current network. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The network device of claim 11, wherein the capability request carries indication information for indicating a capability required by the current network. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The network device of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a capability acknowledgement message, wherein the capability acknowledgement message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is approved; or, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a capability rejection message, wherein the capability rejection message is configured to indicate that allocation of the required capability indicated by the indication information to the current network is rejected. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The network device of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to configure a capability occupation timer, according to information of the capability occupation timer carried in the capability acknowledgement message, and release an occupied UE capability, in response to expiration of the capability occupation timer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The network device of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to, before the expiration of capability occupation timer, re-issue the capability request, receive a re-reported capability acknowledgement message based on the re-issued capability request, and reconfigure the capability occupation timer, according to the re-reported capability acknowledgement message. ### Claim 16 (depends on 7) A user equipment (UE) configured to perform the method of claim 7, the UE comprising: an antenna; a memory; a processor connected to the antenna and the memory, and configured to control the antenna to transmit and receive wireless signals by executing an executable program stored in the memory, and configured to perform operations of the method. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The UE of claim 16, wherein the capability request carries indication information for indicating a capability required by the current network.
