Abstract:
A method for transmitting information related to the use of the Wireless Application Protocol between a terminal arrangement and a network device arrangement coupled to a packet-switched data transmission network, comprising the steps of:defining a first protocol stack for the terminal arrangement and a second protocol stack for the network device arrangement, the protocol stacks consisting of layers, for arranging the mutual exchange of information between the terminal arrangement and the network device arrangement, defining an octet stream protocol layer for the transmission of unstructured octet streams as a certain layer in the first protocol stack and a certain layer in the second protocol stack, defining a Wireless Datagram Protocol layer as a certain layer above the octet stream protocol layer in the first and second protocol stacks and exchanging information related to the use of the Wireless Application Protocol between the Wireless Datagram Protocol layer in the terminal arrangement and the Wireless Datagram Protocol layer in the network device arrangement through the use of the octet stream protocol layer as well as other lower layers in the first and second protocol stacks.
