Disclosed are a method and device for wireless communication. The method comprises: a terminal obtains, from first carriers of a cell, operating parameters of second carriers of the cell, the frequency band where the first carriers are located being different from the frequency band where the second carriers are located; the terminal measures the second carriers of the cell according to the operating parameters of the second carriers of the cell to obtain a measurement result for the second carriers of the cell; the terminal determines a target carrier from the second carriers of the cell; the terminal communicates with a base station by means of the target carrier. According to the solution, the first and second carriers are configured in the cell, and the frequency bands where the first and second carriers are located different, and therefore, the characteristics of different frequency bands are utilized flexibly, so as to balance the design of an entire communication system.
