Can we implement OSI in wireless networks?

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), a secure specification that allows users to access information via handheld wireless devices, specifies architecture based on layers that follow the OSI model fairly closely. WAP defines network architecture for content delivery over wireless networks. Central to the design of WAP is a network stack based on the OSI model. WAP implements several new networking protocols that perform functions similar to the well-known Web protocols HTTP, TCP, and SSL.
