A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus, e.g., a network entity, may establish a connection between a user equipment (UE) and a packet data network, designate the packet data network with an always-on status, and notify the UE, while the UE is in the idle mode, when a loss of connection with the packet data network is detected. The UE may be connected to another packet data network when the loss of the connection occurs. A service provided by the packet data network may be designated as having an always-on status and the UE may be notified when a loss of the service is detected.
