An approach is provided for executing a fast handoff in a radio communication system. An active hard handoff condition associated with a communication session supported by a radio link protocol (RLP) flow and a signaling link protocol (SLP) flow is detected. Transfer of state information and data of the RLP and the SLP is performed over a pre-designated interface from a source entity to a target entity if an active hard handoff condition is detected. The above process is particularly suitable for deployment in radio communication systems, such as a cellular system.
