A novel method and apparatus is disclosed for performing seamless handoff of a mobile station (MS) between Radio Access Networks (RANs) that use different types of wireless interfaces. The described embodiments enable an MS to handoff between different RANs without causing routing ambiguity, and without substantial loss of network data. Upon moving from the coverage area of a first RAN using a first wireless interface to the coverage area of a second RAN using a second wireless interface, an MS determines whether routing ambiguity may result from the change of RAN and, based on the determination, triggers a re-registration of its network address. A foreign agent (FA) within a packet data serving node (PDSN) monitors network address re-registrations in order to determine whether multiple RAN-PDSN (R-P) connections are being created for the same MS. Based on this determination, the PDSN terminates redundant R-P network connections resulting from movement of the MS between different RANs.

What is claimed is: 1. In a packet data serving node of a communications network, a method of compensating for a handoff of a mobile station between a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type, comprising: determining, at the packet data serving node, whether multiple radio-access-network-to-packet-data-serving-node (R-P) connections are being created for the same mobile station due to an IP address re-registration of the mobile station; and terminating, at the packet data serving node, redundant R-P connections resulting from movement of the mobile station between a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring, at the packet data serving node, IP address re-registrations of mobile stations. 3. A packet data serving node of a communications network, comprising: a processor; and circuitry coupled to said processor, the circuitry being configured to: determine, at the packet data serving node, whether multiple radio-access-network-to-packet-data-serving-node (R-P) connections are being created for the same mobile station due to an IP address re-registration of the mobile station; and terminate, at the packet data serving node, redundant R-P connections resulting from movement of the mobile station between a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type. 4. The packet data serving node of claim 3, wherein the circuitry is further configured to monitor IP address re-registrations of mobile stations. 5. A packet data serving node of a communications network, comprising: means for determining, at the packet data serving node, whether multiple radio-access-network-to-packet-data-serving-node (R-P) connections are being created for the same mobile station due to an IP address re-registration of the mobile station; and means for terminating, at the packet data serving node, redundant R-P connections resulting from movement of the mobile station between a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type. 6. The packet data serving node of claim 5, further comprising means for monitoring IP address re-registrations of mobile stations. 7. A computer-readable medium embodied within a computer-program product having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising: code for determining, at a packet data serving node, whether multiple radio-access-network-to-packet-data-serving-node (R-P) connections are being created for the same mobile station due to an IP address re-registration of the mobile station; and code for terminating, at the packet data serving node, redundant R-P connections resulting from movement of the mobile station between a radio access network of a first type and a radio access network of a second type. 8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the computer-program product further comprises code for monitoring IP address re-registrations of mobile stations.
