WAP Over Bluetooth Profile (WAP)
WAP defines how the wireless application protocol suite can run over a Bluetooth wireless technology link. A typical configuration is a mobile phone connecting to a public kiosk over a Bluetooth technology link and using WAP to browse for information. WAP works across a variety of WAN technologies bringing the Internet to mobile devices. Bluetooth technology can be used to provide a bearer for transporting data between the WAP client and an adjacent WAP server. The ad hoc networking capabilities offered by Bluetooth technology gives a WAP client unique possibilities regarding mobility compared with other WAP bearers. The traditional form of WAP communications involves a client device that communicates with a server/proxy device using the WAP protocols. WAP technology supports server push. Used over Bluetooth technology, this protocol offers many possibilities for distributing information to handheld devices on location basis.
