Background
A multi-access capable terminal located within the coverage area of e.g. several APs and WWAN base stations, must decide which network to associate with
For a terminal associated to the WLAN, but makes frequent handovers between the APs, it might be a good idea to change to the WWAN
The process of selecting may be located within the network, within the terminal or in both, as a cooperation between the network and the terminal.

Proposal
Add a counter (RoamingCount) that keeps track on the number of handovers done within a certain time period (RoamingCountPeriod)
The RoamingCount parameters should be available both in the terminal and on the network side
