    (WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL)

    SUBMITED TO : SUBMITTED BY:

    ROLL NO. : 7160
    The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) was designed to make it
    easier to create networked applications for handheld devices despite
    those drawbacks. WAP is a standardisation effort by the Wireless
    Application Protocol Forum, an industry association comprising more
    than 200 vendors of wireless devices, services and tools. The goal of
    the WAP Forum is to provide a set of specifications that allow
    developers to write Internet enabled applications that run on small form
    factor, wireless devices. Typically, these devices are smart phones,
    pagers and PDAs.
    WAP is important because more and more information is going out over
    the wireless network. Recent IDC reports predict that sales of smart
    phones, just one type of device that supports WAP — will reach 539
    million units worldwide in 2003. 

    The WAP Forum has a three stage, public- omment process for
    including wireless standards specifications in its WAP Specification
    Suite, now at Version 1.1.
    Introduction:

    WAP is a hot topic that has been widely hyped in the mobile
    industry and outside of it. It has become imperative for all Information
    Technology companies in Nordic countries and beyond to have a WAP
    division. Many advertising agencies and "dotcoms" have announced WAP
    services. From the user's perspective, using WAP is much like surfing the net
    on a personal computer; the mobile device is fitted with a small, or not so
    small, display which can be used just like a desktop browser. Information
    sources can be selected which are then downloaded and their content is
    displayed. Hyper Text links and buttons can then be pressed to move around
    from page to page in a very simple way. In this respect, there is very little
    difference between WAP browsing and desktop surfing, but, behind the
    scenes there are considerable differences because of the medium through
    which the information must travel, over radio waves rather than along hard-
    wired or telephone lines.
    Importance of WAP:
     linking two of the hottest industries anywhere. 

     Its founder members include the major wireless vendors of Nokia,


    Ericsson and Motorola, plus a It provides a standardized way of linking
    the Internet to mobile phones, thereby newcomer Phone.com.

    Compared to the wired networks there are many constraints in this


    wireless world.

    * Less band width

    * More latency

    * Less connection stability

    * Less predictable availability

    .In order to meet the requirements for mobile operations the solutions must
    be:

     Inter operable-terminals from different manufacturers are able to


    communicate with the services in the mobile networks.
    Infrastructure of WAP:

    WML: Wireless Markup Language: A Tag based display language providing


    navigational support, data input, hyper links, text and image representation
    and forms.

    HTML: Hyper Text Markup Language

    TeleVAS: Telephony Value Added Service


    The Wireless Application Protocol embraces and
    extends the previously conceived and developed wireless data protocols.
    Phone.com created a version of the standard HTML (Hyper Text Markup
    Language) Internet protocols designed specifically for effective and cost-
    effective information transfer across mobile networks. Wireless terminals
    incorporated a HDML (Handheld Device Markup Language) microbrowser
    Phone.com's Handheld Device Transport Protocol (HDTP) then linked the
    terminal to the UP. Link Server Suite which connected to the Internet or
    intranet where the information being requested resides. The Internet site
    content was tagged with HDML. 

    WAP PROTOCOL STACK:

    WAP has a layered architecture as shown in the diagram below:

    Wireless Application Environment (WAE)


    Wireless Session Protocol (WSP)
    Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP)
    Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS)
    Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP)
    Bearers eg: Data, SMS, USSD
    Beneficants from WAP:

    END USER:
    Mobile phones have become dominant tools in communications and at
    the same time the internet has become a de facto platform for information.
    By adopting a common protocol the end user will be provided with more
    value added services which are easy to access and easy to use directly from
    mobile phone Telephony oriented services will be made easier to
    understand and to use.

    OPERATORS:
    The operators can differentiate by launching special services, for
    example for banking stock trading, directory services etc. A further
    differentiation is that the protocol makes it possible to tailor-make specific
    menus with in the mobile phones, facilitating the use of the services. This
    customization can be made over the air.

    INDUSTRY:
    The telecommunication industry will be able to avoid overlapping costs
    and investments if there is a common, open platform and tool for wireless
    messaging.
    Future directions:
    Even if WAP technology is developed recently and the first wireless
    terminal device is entering the market WAP is just one step in a direction of
    new and better technologies. The WAP services that are offered today
    seem to be complex to survive. The future of wireless telephony, 4G or 3G
    will be making use of the packet switching network such as GPRS. This will
    bring the wireless communication in to another dimension and will give
    opportunities for transmission of both pictures and videos.

    Conclusion:

    The WAP technology has a structured architecture designed and is


    based on the standards of the original WWW model. Since the technology
    has been developed by the WAP Forum, it has become a technology with
    an architecture that is scalable, interoperable, efficient, reliable and secure.
    In the future we will see the technology a part of the day today life and the
    users of the wireless terminals will be able to read news, buy consort
    tickets and get access to intra and extranet. However the WAP technology
    in the near future will meet the user requirements that it will have
    difficulties to deliver. The need for sending pictures and video is increasing
    day by day and hence WAP technology may be overtaken by some other
    technologies which have the aforementioned capabilities such as GPRS .
