1. A method, in a user device configured to communicate with a first base station via a radio link, for managing communication of a segmented radio resource control (RRC) message that includes N segments, wherein the segmented RRC message comprises an RRC message that has been divided by an RRC layer of the user device, the method comprising:
transmitting a first M segments of the segmented RRC message to the first base station, M being an integer greater than zero and less than N;
detecting, before transmitting an (M+1)-th segment of the segmented RRC message, a failure of the radio link; and
after detecting the failure of the radio link, transmitting the N segments of the segmented RRC message to either the first base station or a second base station.
