Abstract
In this paper the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as one mobile data service application is examined with the aim to dimension next generation mobile radio networks. A new traffic model for WAP-based applications comprising the application characteristics and the user behaviour is introduced. Taking this model as the basis a WAP load generator and its integration into the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) simulator GPRSim is presented. Simulation results of quality of service measures and GPRS system measures depict the performance of WAP over GPRS and the GPRS network capacity needed for WAP-based applications in comparison to mobile Internet applications based on HTTP over TCP.
