Abstract: During inter-radio access technology (IRAT) handover between LTE and eHRPD technologies, Internet protocol (IP) service continuity at a user equipment (UE) may be maintained. Thus, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided for maintaining the IP service continuity during IRAT handover from an SRAT to a TRAT within an evolved packet core (EPC)—capable region. The apparatus attempts to transfer an EPC context to a TRAT, determines that a failure occurs when attempting to transfer the EPC context to the TRAT, and attempts to maintain at least one IP service continuity within the EPC context according to the failure. The attempt to maintain may include an attempt to maintain an entire EPC context or a set of parameters including at least one of an IP address, a domain name system (DNS) address, a proxy call session control function (P-CSCF) address, or a quality of service (QoS).
