1. A terminal comprising:

  • a first module adapted to install through a device management (DM) enabler, upon receipt from a device management (DM) scheduling enabler of a server, at least one or more scheduling contexts, each of which comprising general information and at least one scheduled device management, wherein the general information includes a first node indicating a current state of the scheduling context and a second node related to controlling a state of the scheduling context, wherein the general information further includes a validity period of the scheduling context; and

    a second module adapted to perform the scheduled device management according to the scheduling context installed by the first module,wherein a first schedule component of the scheduling context allows the terminal to perform in a first type of scheduled device management procedure, and a second schedule component of the scheduling context allows the terminal to perform in a second type of scheduled device management procedure,said first and second types of scheduled device management procedures are based on a threshold-based device management or based on a periodic checking-based device management,for said threshold-based device management, said first type of scheduled device management procedure is performed if a throughput of a particular radio interface exceeds a first threshold, and said second type of scheduled device management procedure is performed if the throughput of the particular radio interface exceeds a second threshold, andfor said periodic checking-based device management, said first type of scheduled device management procedure is performed to set an operation mode of the terminal to an emergency mode due to a detection of an abnormal state as a result of periodic checking, and said second type of scheduled device management procedure is performed to set the operation mode of the terminal to a normal mode after detecting a removal or resolving of the abnormal state as a result of periodic checking,wherein if the validity period of the scheduling context expires, the scheduling context is automatically deleted.
