1. A method comprising: monitoring, by a subscriber station, for a plurality of transition events within a time period, the subscriber station transitioning between two nodes of a plurality of nodes associated with a wireless communication network during the plurality of transition events; determining, by the subscriber station, that the plurality transition events monitored during the time period has exceeded a predefined threshold; generating, by the subscriber station, a roaming management request having transition event information associated with the plurality of transition events; transmitting, by the subscriber station, the roaming management request to a node of the plurality of nodes associated with the wireless communication network to enable the node to adjust one or more configurations of the node to reduce further transition events by the subscriber station; and receiving, by the subscriber station, a roaming management response from the node, wherein the roaming management response includes configuration information for the subscriber station to reduce further transition events.
