As for as found out wireless application protocol & wireless access protocol are the same things, If you find any differences please update by dropping comment.
Definitions of Wireless Application/Access Protocol
Below are the various definitions of the term WAP that I found while Google-ing to define WAP-Definitions of WAP on the Web:
- Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) is an open international standard for application-layer network communications in a wireless-communication environment. Most use of WAP involves accessing the mobile web from a mobile phone or from a PDA.
wikipedia.org/WAP - A plan that outlines the procedures necessary to ensure proper treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste.
www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/tsd/ldr/glossary.htm - A data transmission standard to deliver wireless markup language (WML) content.
www.ffiec.gov/ffiecinfobase/booklets/e_banking/ebanking_04_appx_b_glossary.html - Wireless Access Protocol is a technology that allows cell phones to display specially formatted Web sites on a small screen. WAP was slow to catch on because it was slow and very limited graphically. For these reasons only some Web sites are available in WAP format.
www.german-way.com/handy_voc.html - WAP enables content to be made visible on a cell phone display.
www.zwischenbericht.telekom.de/site0106/en/co/glossar/index.php - A method for presenting web pages on small devices in a way which does not tax the transfer speeds or memory of those devices. That is, these are web sites designed for mobile devices rather than standard computers.
www.codefactory.es/en/glossary.asp - Specification that allows internet content to be read by wireless devices.
www.uen.org/core/edtech/glossary.shtml - Wireless Application Protocol. An industrial standard for Internet-based data communications over mobile networks. Developed by the WAP Forum, consisting of big corporations such as Ericsson, IBM, Motorola and Nokia.
www.tele2.com/investor_relations/definitions-glossary.html - Wireless Application Protocol, web-like system for use on mobile phones. Uses a mark-up language called WML which is based on XML.
www.atsf.co.uk/mim/glossary.php - WAP is an application environment designed to bridge the gap between the mobile and internet worlds. It is a set of communication protocols for wireless devices designed to provide vendor-neutral and technology-neutral access to the internet and advanced telecommunications services.
https://secure1.telkom.co.za/ir/glossary/glossary.jsp - A base station in a wireless LAN. Access points are typically stand-alone devices that plug into an Ethernet hub or server. Like a cellular phone system, users can roam around with their mobile devices and be handed off from one access point to the other.
www.seattle.gov/informationsecurity/glossary_W.htm - Protocol concerning the use of the Internet with mobile telephones. It deals in particular, with the use of a suitable content format. This new communications protocol is part of the process of incorporating Internet applications into GSM mobile networks.
www.tempus.co.uk/glossary.asp - Wireless Application Protocol. An emerging standard to allow cellular/wireless devices to access the Internet. Interoperability to access the Internet via smart phones (WAP phones), palm devices and pocket-PC are enhanced by this standard.
www.msms.org/AM/TemplateRedirect.cfm - A leading standard for information services on wireless terminals like digital mobile phones.
www.mootywebdesign.com.au/web-design/web-design-glosary.php - An international standard establishing how mobile devices (for example, mobile phones) can access information on the Internet.

WAP: Wireless Access Point
In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or related standards. The WAP usually connects to a router (via a wired network), and can relay data between the wireless devices (such as computers or printers) and wired devices on the network. Industrial grade WAPs are rugged, with a metal cover and a DIN rail mount. During operations they can tolerate a wider temperature range, high humidity and exposure to water, dust, and oil. Wireless security includes: WPA-PSK, WPA2, IEEE 802.1x/RADIUS, WDS, WEP, TKIP, and CCMP (AES) encryption. Unlike home consumer models, industrial wireless access points can also be used as a bridge, router, or a client. - as defined on wikipedia.
