WAP clients (e.g., cell phone or palm computer) run a WAP program called a WAE user agent that generates WAE requests and sends them to the WAP gateway.
The WAP gateway transceiver next passes the requests to a wireless telephony application (WTA) server.
The server sends WAE responses back to the WAP client.
If the client has requested a Web page, the WAE request is sent to a WAP proxy which translates both outgoing requests from WAE to HTTP and incoming HTTP responses back into WAE
The WAE responses are then sent back to the WTA server which, in turn, sends them back to the WAP client
