Abstract

In case of implementing a complicated application like WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) in a mobile terminal with the characteristic of bare machine and versatile kernel aspects of which are control, interrupt and IPC (Inter Process Communication), a special methodology should be needed. If not, it will cause more cost and human resources, even delayed product into launching for the time-to-market. This paper suggests AKL (Abstract Kernel Layer) for the design and implementation of WAP on basis of multi-platform. AKL is running on the various kernel including REX, MS-DOS, MS-Window, UNIX and LINUX. For the purpose of it, AKL makes machine-dependant features be minimized and supports a consistent interface on API (Application Program Interface) point of views. Therefore, it makes porting times of a device be shorten and makes easy of maintenance. We validated our suggestion as a consequent of porting WAP into PalmV PDA and mobile phone with AKL.
