This application provides a handover method that is based on DC, including: sending, by a source base station, a handover request to a target base station, where the handover request carries a target base station user equipment (UE) aggregate maximum bit rate (UE-AMBR) and/or network slice information of UE; and receiving, by the source base station, a handover request feedback sent by the target base station. A UE capability is coordinated between the source base station and the target base station, so that it is ensured that a technical effect of the UE capability is not exceeded during a DC-based handover. The coordination of the UE capability may be implemented by the source base station, or may be implemented by the target base station.
