Design and Implementation of Wap Gateway

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.
