Method and apparatus for facilitating inter-cell connections, such as during a forward handover or radio link failure (RLF), are disclosed. A user terminal such as a UE may store identity information associated with a source cell, and use this information in accessing target or other cells subsequent to radio link failure so as to facilitate access to context information of the user terminal. A base station may be configured to improve handover performance by associating context information with a newly assigned terminal identity. Handover performance may be enhanced by facilitating connection processing in the event of inability to retrieve user terminal context from a source cell.

The target base station of claim 15, wherein the means for sending is further configured to send a connection setup message to the user terminal subsequent to receipt of the connection request message. 17. The target base station of claim 16, wherein the connection setup message is an RRCConnectionSetup message. 18. The target base station of claim 15, wherein the connection request message is an RRCConnectionRequest message, said connection request message received without receipt of preceding Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure signaling from the user terminal. 19. The target base station of claim 15, wherein the fourth message is a context retrieval fail message. 20. The target base station of claim 15, wherein the first identity information comprises at least one of a Physical Cell Identity (PCI) or a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI).
