The embodiments of present application provide a method and device for handover, wherein, the method includes: receiving a configuration message transmitted by a second node to support the first node for handover, wherein, the first node includes any one of a relay node, a mobile terminal part of the relay node, and a distributed unit of the relay node, and the second node includes any one of an anchor node, and a central unit of the anchor node; and configuring the first node according to the configuration message transmitted by the second node. The method provided in the present application achieves the effect of updating the configuration of the first node during the handover of the first node when moving, so that the relay node may continuously provide service for a user equipment accessing the first node.
