WAP has URLs which can be typed into an address bar which is similar to URLs in HTTP. Relative URLs in WAP are used for navigating within a deck, and Absolute URLs in WAP are used for navigating between decks. [9] WAP was designed to operate in bandwidth-constrained networks by using data compression before transmitting data to users. [11]
Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) is a security protocol, part of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) stack. [1] It sits between the WTP and WDP layers in the WAP communications stack . [ 2 ]
The Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol is a standard, interoperable networking protocol that enables a central wireless LAN Access Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination Points (WTPs), more commonly known as wireless access points.
It is a layer of the Wireless Application Protocol [1] that is intended to bring Internet access to mobile phones. WTP provides functions similar to TCP , except that WTP has reduced amount of information needed for each transaction (e.g. does not include a provision for rearranging out-of-order packets). [ 1 ]
The lower layers may also be named control layer and transport layer (the transport layer is also referred to as the access layer in some architectures). [citation needed] The concept of service layer is used in contexts such as Intelligent networks (IN), WAP, 3G and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).
In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router , but in a wireless router it can also be an integral ...
This article lists protocols, categorized by the nearest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection model.This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family.Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.
In consequence of the interface common to transport protocols, the upper layer protocols of the WAP architecture can operate independently of the underlying wireless network. By letting only the transport layer deal with physical network-dependent issues, global interoperability can be acquired using mediating gateways.
