1. A method for changing network configurations of a communication terminal using a device management tree, the method comprising:

  • receiving, from a server;

    a scheduling context including new values for a network configuration,a reconfiguration parameter,a first device management (DM) command for reconfiguring the network configuration based on the new values in the scheduling context,a second DM command for applying the reconfigured network configuration, anda condition for executing the second DM command, the condition representing a threshold signal strength value;

    checking the reconfiguration parameter;

    executing the first DM command for reconfiguring the network configuration based on the new values in the scheduling context when the checking of the reconfiguration parameter indicates the scheduling context is to be used for a reconfiguration;

    monitoring whether a signal strength for a communication with a network becomes lower than condition for executing the second DM command; and

    executing the second DM command to apply the reconfigured network configuration when the monitored signal strength becomes lower than condition for executing the second DM command according to a result of the monitoring,wherein the new values for the network configuration include values related to a proxy address, a home universal resource location (URL), or a network type, and wherein the network type comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a 3rd generation partnership program (3GPP) network, andwherein the first DM command is to reconfigure the network type from the 3GPP network to the WLAN network or from the WLAN network to the 3GPP network.
