Abstract

With the rapid advancement of mobile communication technologies, mobile devices are evolving into convergence devices with various multimedia capabilities. However, the needs for high-performance devices demand complicated settings, and thus contain latent error possibilities. Also, in these devices, poor system performance can be caused by the collisions of different software programs. In solving these problems, device management becomes an important issue. Open Mobile Alliance developed OMA DM(Device Management) which is a device management standard, and recently has released OMA DM v1.2, which provides improved mobile device management methods compared to earlier versions. OMA DM v1.2 supports TNDS(Tree and Description Serialization) of XML or WBXML management trees. This paper introduces design and implementation of OMA DM v1.2 based MDM(Mobile Device Management) agent. By using TNDS which is supported by OMA DM v1.2 for acquiring, adding, and editing management objects in the mobile devices, it provides more effective device management functions with small amount of network traffic.
