The WAP protocol suite is composed of various protocols covering basically all layers of the ISO-OSI reference model. There are four major layers in the WAP protocol: .
Session layer-(WSP) .
Transaction layer-(WTP) .
Security Layer-(WTLS) .
Transport/ datagram layer-(WDP) .
.

The Wireless Application Environment is based on WWW and Mobile Telephony technologies. It lets users and providers build applications that can be compatible with as many platforms as possible.
The Wireless Session Protocol is mainly there to keep the interface for the session consistent for things such as caching. Currently the protocols of the WSP are HTTP/1.1 functionable. The protocols here are mainly set to to be used in low-bandwidth networks. .
The Wireless Transaction Protocol mainly controls messages being transmitted. It makes the communication between users much more reliable. .
The Wireless Transport Layer Security protocol is based on TLS (Transport Layer Security) or formerly known as SSL or Secure Sockets Layer. It is made to be used with other WAP protocol and to support narrowband networks. .
The Wireless Datagram Protocol offers to the upper layers an invisible type interface independent of the underlying network wireless network being used. This allows the interface that is common to the transport protocols to function independently of the underlying wireles network. .
Wireless application protocol has a lot of potential since coming to the market. User will soon enough be able to do everything they can do on the internet, off of a home PC, on their wireless devices. From making movie reservations to trading stocks to booking airflights, the development of WAP is nowhere near being complete. This type of technology is revolutionary. It is the kind that creeps up on you and before you know it, it has changed the way people live.
A friendly member of junior management should be tasked out as the guide for WAP. ... The second half day of the WAP should take place in the afternoon. Possibly, even the next day from the morning WAP. ... The afternoon WAP needs to focus on the personal interaction aspect of their new job. ... The third and fourth hour of the afternoon WAP can be utilized as needed. ...
WAP makes it possible for mobile phones to access the Internet and retrieve information on simplified display screens or through a voice interface. WAP phones can receive text and data, including pages downloaded from the World Wide Web, as well as voice using an implementation of WAP. As you can see WAP has many capabilities and due to these capabilities and the amount of new upcoming handsets with features such as built-in cameras, video streaming capabilities and graphics/text integration WAP is well on its way to making a comeback (Armor, 2002).

Introduction Wireless technology exists to enhance the human sensory feelings to give people the opportunity to be heard, to listen and be educated, to recognize and be recognized. It is a type of technology that allows you to express yourself anywhere, anytime toward achieving a greater level of communication. The objective in this paper is to become familiar with the concept of wireless technology. Various topics are covered to include Wireless history, standards, basic principles, regulatory change, and global implications. Wireless History There was a time when you could easily cou...
Today as mobile phones are becoming the fastest and easiest way of keeping in contact with someone, both Internet and mobile technologies have been merged to create WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). ... At the moment WAP is not a very fast method to access the Internet, but telecom experts predict that WAP will get better, faster and cheaper in the next few months. WAP is the way people 'on the move' access information. ... Yet the WAP technology at the moment is limited. ...
InVANET Functionality • Each vehicle equipped with WiFi/WiMax device acts as a node • Unique ID and IP address for each vehicle • Each node can communicate with any other node • Any vehicle can register its identity to a roadway WAP • Information provided by the vehicles directly to the WAPs • Collective information stored by the WAPs at a dynamic server database Communication Methodologies GPS for location identification • Information retrieval units in VANETS • Location ...
Starting first with the WAP system or the wireless application protocol, which allows customers to surf the Internet in the palm of the hand on their phone. ... With packet technology, the user will be connected to their home carrier data services via the subscribers handset, PDA or Laptop - typically a WAP server, a company LAN, or an Internet Service Provider - and then send and receive data as required throughout the day. ...
Even the arrival of WAP technology allowing mobile devices to access the web and Internet-based services has kept the smart card at the heart of m-commerce evolution; its WIM (WAP Identity Module) specification requires smart card-based authentication and digital signature technology to protect the user's security. ...
In the last decade computers have become a part of everyday life. Whether it be surfing the web or a simple visit to Wal-Mart everyone faces computers daily. Since movies and television portray people who have knowledge of computers as nerds many misconceptions have existed in the past about ...
