Performance analysis of WAP packet transmission time and optimal packet size in wireless network

Abstract

With the increase of data communication service by mobile devices, WAP is a protocol proposed to efficiently access the internet contents by user request through wireless condition that has a high error rate and mobility. In this paper, it has analyzed transmission time for wireless application protocol (WAP) in wireless CDMA network. In order for segmentation and reassembly (SAR) to improve the transfer capability, the transmission of messages have been simulated using a fragmentation that begins with the total package and incremental fragmentation for each layer using the wireless transaction protocol (WTP) to define the resultant packet size and the level of fragmentation for each proceeding layer. SAR decreases transmission time of radio link protocol (RLP) baseband packets by sending packets. From the results, it was able to obtain packet transmission time and optimal WTP packet size in wireless network. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
