The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for cell reselection during a SRNS relocation at a UE. For example, the disclosure presents a method for stopping signaling radio bearers (SRBs) sending a response message for the first Cell Update Confirm or the URA Update Confirm message and waiting for a layer two acknowledgement (L2 ACK) message from the network entity, triggering a second Cell Update or a URA Update procedure in a newly selected serving cell of the UE when waiting for the L2 ACK message from the network entity and waiting for the second Cell Update Confirm or the URA Update Confirm message, and performing a corrective action at the UE after the triggering of the second Cell Update or the URA Update procedure when the UE is waiting for the L2 ACK message from the network entity. As such, a cell reselection during a serving radio network subsystem (SRNS) relocation at a UE may be achieved.
