Wireless Application Protocol: Mobile Computing EID 362 Unit - V

This document discusses the Wireless Application Environment (WAE). It aims to create a general-purpose application environment for wireless devices based on existing web technologies. WAE allows service providers, software manufacturers and hardware vendors to integrate their applications to reach a variety of wireless platforms efficiently. It does not dictate any specific user interface but allows different device capabilities. WAE has integrated HTML, JavaScript, HDML and WMLscript to be used in low-power wireless devices. It includes a logical model with decoders that translate requests between standard and wireless formats, and allows origin servers and push services.

Wireless Application Environment
● The main idea behind the wireless application environment
(WAE) is to create a general-purpose application environment
based mainly on existing technologies and philosophies of the
world wide web.
● This environment should allow service providers, software
manufacturers, or hardware vendors to integrate their
applications so they can reach a wide variety of different
wireless platforms in an efficient way.
Wireless Application Environment
● However, WAE does not dictate or assume any specific
man-machine-interface model, but allows for a variety of
devices, each with its own capabilities and probably
vendor-specific extras .
● WAE has already integrated the following technologies and
adapted them for use in a wireless environment with low power
handheld devices.
○ HTML
○ JavaScript
○ HDML & WMLscript.

Fig 5.19:WAE logical model


Wireless Application Environment
● Decoders in a gateway now translate this encoded request into a
standard request as understood by the origin servers.
● This could be a request to get a web page to set up a call.
● The gateway transfers this request to the appropriate origin
server as if it came from a standard client.
● Origin servers could be standard web servers running HTTP and
generating content using scripts, providing pages using a
database, or applying any other (proprietary) technology.
Wireless Application Environment
● WAE does not specify any standard content generator or server,
but assumes that the majority will follow the standard
technology used in today’s www.
● The origin servers will respond to the request. The gateway now
encodes the response and its content (if there is any) and
transfers the encoded response with the content to the client.
● The WAE logical model not only includes this standard
request/response scheme, but it also includes push services.
Then an origin server pushes content to the gateway.
Wireless Application Environment
● The gateway encodes the pushed content and transmits the
encoded push content to the client.
● Several user agents can reside within a client. User agents
include such items as: browsers, phonebooks, message editors
etc. WAE does not specify the number of user agents or their
functionality, but assumes a basic WML user agent that
supports WML, WMLscript, or both.
