1. A method for resource coordination, comprising:

sending, by a terminal device, a first request message to a network device to which a first subscriber identity card is connected, wherein the first request message is used to request the network device to configure or reserve a first resource, and the terminal device has the first subscriber identity card and a second subscriber identity card,

wherein in response to that a cell in which the second subscriber identity card is located is handed over from a first cell to a second cell, the terminal device sends the first request message to the network device to which the first subscriber identity card is connected.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource is a first measurement interval, and the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, configuration information of a first measurement interval mode sent by the network device, and determining, by the terminal device, the first measurement interval based on the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode, wherein the first measurement interval is used by the terminal device to perform Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement and paging reception of a cell in which the second subscriber identity card is located.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode comprises at least one of a period of the first measurement interval, a duration of the first measurement interval, or an offset of the first measurement interval.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource is at least one band or band group, the first request message carries first indication information, and the first indication information indicates the at least one band or band group.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein in response to that the network device uses the at least one band or band group, the method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal device, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by the network device, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message is used by the terminal device to release usage of the at least one band or band group.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to that a cell in which the first subscriber identity card is located is handed over from a first cell to a second cell, the terminal device sends the first request message to the first cell, and the first request message is forwarded by the first cell to the second cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to that no first response message sent by the network device responsive to the first request message is received by the terminal device before a first time, using, by the terminal device, the first resource for the second subscriber identity card.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first time is determined based on a first timer, and

the terminal device starts the first timer after sending the first request message to the network device to which the first subscriber identity card is connected; and

in response to that no first response message sent by the network device responsive to the first request message is received by the terminal device before the first timer expires, the terminal device uses the first resource for the second subscriber identity card.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first time is determined based on first time information for indicating at least one of a radio frame number, a subframe number, or a slot number,

in response to that no first response message sent by the network device responsive to the first request message is received by the terminal device before the first time determined based on the first time information, the terminal device uses the first resource for the second subscriber identity card.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first subscriber identity card is in a connected state, and the second subscriber identity card is in an idle state or an inactive state or a connected state.

11. A method for resource coordination, comprising:

sending, by a terminal device, a second request message to a network device to which a first subscriber identity card is connected, wherein the second request message is used to request the network device to lower a terminal device capability of the terminal device,

wherein the second request message carries second indication information, and the second indication information indicates information about lowered terminal device capability of the terminal device or information about maximum terminal device capability of the terminal device under the network device,

wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the terminal device, third indication information to the network device, wherein the third indication information is used to trigger the network device to initiate a terminal device capability request process;

receiving, by the terminal device, a third request message sent by the network device, wherein the third request message is used to request the terminal device to report terminal device capability information; and

sending, by the terminal device, the second indication information carrying the information about lowered terminal device capability or the information about maximum terminal device capability of the terminal device under the network device to the network device.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

sending, by the terminal device, the second indication information carrying the information about lowered terminal device capability or the information about maximum terminal device capability of the terminal device under the network device to the network device.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first subscriber identity card is in a connected state, and a second subscriber identity card is in an idle state or an inactive state or a connected state.

14. A device for resource coordination, comprising:

a processor;

a memory configured to store a computer program;

an output interface; and

an input interface,

wherein the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to control the output interface to send a first request message to a network device to which a first subscriber identity card is connected, wherein the first request message is used to request the network device to configure or reserve a first resource, and a terminal device has the first subscriber identity card and a second subscriber identity card,

wherein in response to that a cell in which the second subscriber identity card is located is handed over from a first cell to a second cell, the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to control the output interface to send the first request message to the network device to which the first subscriber identity card is connected.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first resource is a first measurement interval, and

the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to: control the input interface to receive configuration information of a first measurement interval mode sent by the network device, and determine the first measurement interval based on the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode, wherein the first measurement interval is used by the terminal device to perform Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement and paging reception of a cell in which the second subscriber identity card is located,

wherein the configuration information of the first measurement interval mode comprises at least one of a period of the first measurement interval, a duration of the first measurement interval, or an offset of the first measurement interval.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first resource is at least one band or band group, the first request message carries first indication information, and the first indication information indicates the at least one band or band group,

wherein the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to control the input interface to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by the network device, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message is used by the terminal device to release usage of the at least one band or band group.
