Abstract

Wireless Session Protocol(WSP) which was updated and supplemented based on HyperText Transfer Protocol(HTTP) was designed by Wireless Application Protocol(WAP) forum regarding the characteristics of wireless environment. WSP improved the performance in wireless network, and introduced various facilities considering wireless environment. In this paper, we more improve the performance of WSP adding protocol message compression capability; we cail improved WSP protocol as WSP+. And, we analysis the performance of each protocol with WSP and WSP+ implementation. As a result of experiment, the capability which proposed in this paper reduced a response traffic about 45%. In $10^{-4}$ bit error rate, we also found the packet loss rate and time delay per transaction of WSP+ was improved over 40%. Finally, we found that the protocol message compression capability reduces message retransmission count in transaction layer and shorten the delay time per transaction by reducing a message size.

Wireless Application Protocol(WAP) 포럼에서는 무선 환경의 특성에 적합하도록 HyperText Transfer Protocol(HTTP)를 수정 보완한 Wireless Session Protocol(WSP)를 제안하였다 WSP는 무선 구간에서의 프로토콜 성능을 상당부분 개선하였고, 무선 환경을 고려한 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 WSP에 프로토콜 메시지 압축 기능을 추가하여 기존 프로토콜의 성능을 더욱 개선하였다. 그리고, 기존의 WSP 구현물과 프로토콜 메시지 압축 기능을 추가한 WSP+ 구현물의 성능을 측정하고 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 프로토콜 메시지 압축기능은 기존 WSP에 비하여 응답 트래픽을 약 45% 감소시켰다. 그리고, 비트 오류 발생률이 $10^{-4}$인 실험 환경에서 패킷 손실률과 트랜잭션당 시간 지연을 40% 이상 개선하였다. 이러한 측정 결과에서 알 수 있듯이, 프로토콜 메시지 압축 기능은 무선 구간에서 전달되는 메시지의 크기를 줄임으로써 패킷의 손실률을 낮추어 트랜잭션 계층에서의 메시지 재전송 횟수를 줄이고 트랜잭션당 시간 지연을 단축하였다.
