The present invention provides an RRC procedure monitoring method executed at a UE, and a corresponding UE. The method comprises: when the UE or a UE radio resource control (RRC) layer triggers an RRC connection resume procedure, starting an RRC connection resume procedure monitoring timer. The method further comprises: when the RRC connection resume procedure monitoring timer is running, if the UE or the UE RRC layer receives, from an evolved NodeB (eNB), an RRC connection resume message, an RRC connection resume rejecting message, or an RRC connection setup message or an upper layer aborts the RRC connection resume procedure or cell reselection occurs, then the UE or the UE RRC layer stops the UE RRC connection resume procedure monitoring timer and terminates the RRC connection resume procedure, wherein the RRC connection resume message comprises configuration information for resuming the RRC connection when the eNB and the UE store UE context.
