Abstract
A method for communicating in a wireless application protocol (WAP) network environment is provided that includes receiving a request packet at a WAP gateway and positioning an identifier into the request packet. A content switch then identifies the identifier and correlates the identifier to a source that generated the request packet. An internet protocol (IP) address associated with the source is positioned in the request packet before communicating the request packet to a next destination.

51. A method for enlisting one or more end users in an environment in which wireless application protocol (WAP) communications occur, comprising:
-
enlisting one or more end users in a billing plan associated with network communications;
generating a bill associated with one or more of the end users, the bill being based on the billing plan; and
facilitating network communications for one or more of the end users in response to the end users being enlisted in the billing plan, whereby the network communications includes a protocol that comprises;
receiving a request packet;
positioning an identifier into the request packet;
identifying the identifier and correlating the identifier to a source that generated the request packet; and
positioning an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the source in the request packet before communicating the request packet to a next destination. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)

60. An apparatus for communicating in a wireless application protocol (WAP) network environment, comprising:
a content switch coupled to a gateway and operable to identify an identifier, which is positioned by the gateway, and to correlate the identifier to a source that generated the request packet, the content switch being further operable to receive the request packet and to position an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the source in the request packet before communicating the request packet to a next destination. - View Dependent Claims (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
-
68. An apparatus for communicating in a wireless application protocol (WAP) network environment, comprising:
a client service packet gateway (CSPG) operable to receive a request packet after an internet protocol (IP) address associated with a source has been positioned by a content switch and to match one or more IP addresses with one or more source profiles in order to provide one or more networking services to one or more selected sources, the content switch being operable to identify an identifier and to correlate the identifier to the source that generated the request packet, the content switch being further operable to receive the request packet and to position the IP address associated with the source in the request packet before communicating the request packet to a next destination. - View Dependent Claims (69, 70)
