The invention discloses a processing method for cell reselection in the establishment process of RRC connection and a device. The processing method comprises the following steps: when cell reselection occurs in the establishment process of RRC connection of a user terminal and UTRAN, an access layer of the user terminal notifies a non-access layer of the cell reselection in the establishment process of RRC connection; the non-access layer caches the connection establishing request, detects whether cell information reported by the access layer is received in real time, and judges whether the process of connection management of mobile management (MM) and the special process of MM conflict after the reported cell information is received, if so, the special process of MM is initiated, and after the special process is ended, the cached connection establishing request is reinitiated or a call is waited to be reinitiated by a network side. The method solves the problem that in the prior art, cell reselection in the establishment process of RRC connection causes conflict between the connection management of MM and the special process of MM so as to cause call failure.
