This paper presents a novel architecture for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 2.0 employing a proxy to isolate the wireless domain from the wired domain, and an advanced data compression scheme to significantly reduce the wireless access time (WAT) while overcoming the WAP 1.x end-to-end security problem. The compression scheme combines content compression with robust header compression (ROHC) and minimizes the transmitted air-interface traffic. Performance evaluations show that while WAP 1.x is optimized for narrowband wireless channels, WAP 2.0 utilizing TCP/IP outperforms WAP 1.x in wideband channels even without compression.
