A method and a device for communication mode switching are provided in embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes: acquiring at least one candidate communication mode for switching according to a preset channel quality condition, where the channel quality condition is met under the candidate communication mode for switching; evaluating each of the at least one candidate communication mode for switching according to a switch criterion and acquiring an evaluation value of each of the at least one candidate communication mode for switching; and ranking the evaluation value of the at least one candidate communication mode for switching in an ascending order or a descending order and switching a communication system from a current communication mode to a candidate communication mode for switching corresponding to an evaluation value ranked as the first.
