If a
higher layer requests a service the WDP cannot fulfill, this error is indicated
with the T-DError.ind service primitive
as shown in
Figure 10.11. An error code
(EC) is returned indicating the reason for the error to the higher layer.
WDP is not allowed to use this
primitive to indicate problems with the bearer
service. It is only allowed to use the primitive to indicate local problems,
such as a user
data size that is too large. If any errors happen when WDP
datagram‘s are sent from one WDP entity to another (e.g. the destination is
unreachable, no application is listening to the specified destination port
etc.), the wireless control message
protocol (WCMP)
provides error handling mechanisms for WDP and should
therefore be implemented. WCMP contains control messages that resemble
the
internet control message protocol messages and can also be used for diagnostic
and informational purposes.

WCMP can
be used by WDP nodes and gateways to report errors. However, WCMP error
messages must not be sent as
response to other WCMP error messages. In IP-based
networks, ICMP will be used as WCMP (e.g., CDPD, GPRS). Typical WCMP
messages
are destination unreachable (route,
port, address unreachable), parameter
problem (errors in the packet
header), message
too big, reassembly
failure, or echo request/reply.
An additional
If the
bearer already offers IP transmission, WDP (i.e., UDP in this case) relies on
the segmentation (called fragmentation in
the IP context) and reassembly capabilities
of the IP layer as specified in (Postal, 1981a). Otherwise, WDP has to include
these
capabilities, which is, e.g., necessary for the GSM SMS. The WAP
specification provides many more adaptations to almost all bearer
services
currently available or planned for the future (WAP Forum, 2000q), (WAP Forum,
2000b).
