A method for sending inter-frequency measurement configurations is disclosed, including: an eNB performing a swap action on a measurement configuration copy formed according to a measurement configuration to obtain a first measurement configuration; the eNB generating a second measurement configuration according to its own configuration and UE capability, and comparing the second measurement configuration with the first one; if the first and second measurement configuration are the same, the measurement configurations being not filled in the controlling message; if the first measurement configuration is a part of the second measurement configuration, in the controlling message, the extra measurement configuration being put in an adding list at the destination side; if they are different, in the controlling message, the first measurement configuration being put in a deleting list, the second one being put in the adding list; and the eNB sending a RRC connection reconfiguring message to the UE.
