    Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) allows users to access web services from mobile devices. It has a layered architecture including application, session, transaction, security, and transport layers. When a user enters a URL on their mobile browser, the request is sent via WAP to a gateway, translated to HTTP, and forwarded to a web server. The server responds back through the gateway in a format viewable on the mobile device. WAP enables web-like access from devices with limited screens and processing power.

    Introduction
    • Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an application
    communication protocol.
    • It is based upon the concept of World Wide Web (WWW).
    • WAP is used to access services and information.
    • WAP is for hand-held services such as mobile phones.
    • WAP enables the creating of web applications for mobile devices.
    • WAP uses the mark-up language Wireless Markup Language
    (WML).
    • Basic aim of WAP is to
    provide a web-like
    experience on small
    portable devices - like
    Aim mobile phones &
    & PDA’s.
    Purpose • Main purpose of WAP
    is to enable easy, fast
    delivery of relevant
    information and
    services to mobile
    users.
    Wireless Application Protocol
    Architecture (WAPA)
    WAP Protocol Stack / Layers:

    • Application Layer: This layer consists of Wireless Application


    Environment (WAE) and content development programming
    languages i.e., (WML).

    • Session Layer : This layer consists of the Wireless Session


    protocol(WSP). It is responsible for fast connection and reconnection.

    • Transaction Layer : The transaction layer consists of Wireless


    Transaction Protocol (WTP) and runs on top of UDP (User Datagram
    Protocol). This layer is a part of TCP/IP and offers transaction support.
    • Security Layer : It contains Wireless Transaction Layer
    Security (WTLS) and is responsible for data integrity and
    privacy.
    • Transport Layer : This layer consists of Wireless Datagram
    Protocol (WDP). It provides a consistent data format to
    higher layers of the WAP Protocol Stack.
    Layers of WAP
    Working of WAP :
    The following steps define the working of Wireless
    Application Protocol or WAP Model:
    • The WAP model consists of 3 levels known as Client,
    Gateway and Origin Server.
    • When a user opens the browser in his/her mobile device
    and selects a website that he/she wants to view, the
    mobile device sends the URL encoded request via a
    network to a WAP gateway using WAP protocol.
    • The request he/she sends via mobile to WAP gateway is
    called as encoding request.
    • The sent encoding request is translated through WAP
    gateway and then forwarded in the form of a
    conventional HTTP - URL request over the Internet.
    • When the request reaches a specified Web Server, it
    processes the request just as it would handle any other
    requests and sends the responds back to the mobile
    device through WAP gateway.
    • Now, the WML files final response can be seen in the
    browser of the mobile users.
    Advantages & Disadvantages of WAP
    ADVANTAG ES DI SA DVA NTAG E S

    1. Portability 1. Low speed, security &


    small user interface
    2. Easy to use
    2. Unfamiliar to the users
    3. Access to wide variety
    of services 3. Business model is costly

    4. Fast and Convenient 4. Third parties are included


    5. Forms are hard to design.
    5. Personalized Services
    Application of WAP
    1) Accessing the internet from mobile devices .
    2) Playing games using wireless devices
    3) Accessing Time Sheets & filing expenses claims via mobile
    handsets.
    4) Great beneficiary in locating various geographical areas.
    5) Provides short messaging, e-mail, weather and traffic
    alerts based on the geographical location of the customer.
    6) Easy access to all kinds Banking services.
    7) Provides Telecommunication services.
    SUMMARY
    • Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) , as a concept is
    mainly used to access web very efficiently.
    • WAP was especially designed for those devices which
    had limited screen & limited processing etc.
    • It is called as de-facto standard because it acts as an
    interface between World Wide Web & Mobile devices.
    • The most fascinating thing about WAP concept is that it
    supports all operating systems used in handheld devices
    such as Windows, JAVA etc.
