The present invention provides a method of relocating functional entities in access service networks during mobility events. One embodiment of the method includes providing context information representative of two or more functional entities from a source access service network (ASN) to a target ASN. Another embodiment of the method includes receiving context information representative of two or more functional entities at a target ASN from a source ASN. The context information for the functional entities is associated with an access terminal and is provided in response to the source ASN receiving a relocation notification from the target ASN as a result of a handoff request or a location update message.
