WAP is not built on top of HTTP. &nbsp;WAP is built to parallel HTTP. &nbsp;WAP for wireless and HTTP for wired. &nbsp;HTTP is not used for the wireless half of a web access from a cell phone.<br />
<br />
Is TCP/IP available when I am using my cell phone? &nbsp;Can you link to the article that claims that? &nbsp;I thought TCP/IP is only for the wired half of a cell phone web access.<br />

The information that you provide seems to be inaccurate...<br />

Actually, I was wrong. Thx

Hello, I am trying to understand various wireless communication protocols.<br />
<br />
On J2SE, when I use a socket to communicate, the underlying protocol is TCP/IP.<br />
<br />
On J2ME, when I use a socket to communicate, what is the underlying protocol? &nbsp;Specifically, which layers of the WAP protocol stack are used?<br />
<br />
Now, if I open an IMPS J2ME client on my wireless phone to chat with a friend on his PC, what happens? &nbsp;I thought IMPS is supposed to replace the WAP protocol stack. &nbsp;Is that correct? &nbsp;Where does IMPS stand relative to WAP?<br />
<br />
What if I open a native IMPS client on my wireless phone? &nbsp;Does it behave exactly the same way as the J2ME client?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

What protocol is used under a Socket in J2ME?

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.
