12. A method for operating a Device Management (DM) server in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
determining to initiate a DM session with a DM client; determining if the DM client should be instructed to suppress a response message; if it is determined that the DM client should be instructed to suppress a response message, generating a message that includes an instruction for the DM client to suppress the response message; if it is not determined that the DM client should be instructed to suppress a response message, generating a message that does not include an instruction for the DM client to suppress the response message; and transmitting the generated message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A Device Management (DM) client apparatus for use in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving one or more messages from a DM server; a transmitter for transmitting a response message to the a DM server, wherein the response message is transmitted in response to a message received from the DM server; and a message suppression determiner for determining if the response message should be suppressed based on the received message, wherein if the message suppression determiner determines that the response message should be suppressed, the transmitter does not transmit the response message to the DM server, and if the message suppression determiner does not determine that the response message should be suppressed, the transmitter transmits the response message to the DM server. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A Device Management (DM) server apparatus for use in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a DM session initiation determiner for determining to initiate a DM session with a DM client; a receiver for receiving a response message from the DM client; a message suppression determiner for determining if the DM client should be instructed to suppress the response message; a message generator for generating one or more messages for transmission to the DM client; and a transmitter for transmitting the generated one or more messages to the DM client, wherein if the message suppression determiner determines that the DM client should be instructed to suppress the response message, the message generator generates a message that includes an instruction for the DM client to suppress the response message, and if the message suppression determiner does not determine that the DM client should be instructed to suppress the response message, the message generator generates a message that does not include an instruction for the DM client to suppress the response message. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
