Abstract:
This report details the design, development and testing of
WAP Gateway. A WAP gateway is an implementation of
WAP stack which translates between protocols in the WAP
protocol suite and the TCP/IP protocol suite. This report is
the documentation of a gateway which acts as a translator
between Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) and Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The report contains a
description of the WAP protocol suite and method
invocation in HTTP and WSP. The WAP Gateway is also
responsible for the encoding of the WML content into
binary representation so that minimal and compact data
could be sent to the WAP Client. In the project only the
connectionless part of the WAP protocol suite has been
implemented. So in its present form the WAP Gateway
works over an IP network using the UDP packets.
