Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating handover of communications between a source radio gateway and a target radio gateway of a packet radio communication system. Subsequent to handover of communications from the source to the target radio gateways, a default frame is generated at the target gateway. The default frame is forwarded to a communication station operable pursuant to a communication session with a mobile station, the communication session of which has been handed over from the source to the target radio gateway. The default frame identifies, to the communication station, the identity of the target gateway. Thereby, the communication station is informed that the target gateway is the address to which additional data generated at the communication station is to be routed.
