A system for, and method of, processing a wireless file in a computer network and a communications infrastructure incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) an examiner that receives at least a portion of the wireless file and identifies a filename thereof and (2) a file processor that modifies a content of the wireless file based on the filename. The present invention therefore introduces the broad concept of employing a filename (or a portion thereof) of a wireless file to determine whether or what type of processing is to be performed with respect to the wireless file. "Wireless file" is defined, for purposes of the present invention, as any file that contains communications data. These data may form a datastream. The data may be audio, video or image data (user data) or may be wireless information (control data employed in communicating the user data). In one embodiment of the present invention, the examiner identifies an extension of the filename. In an embodiment to be illustrated and described, the extension is selected from the group consisting of: .wdf ("wireless data format") and .wif ("wireless information format). Of course, other parts of the filename, or the whole filename, may be employed to determine the type or extent of wireless file modification required. In one embodiment of the present invention, the examiner is associated with tree Internet. However, those skilled in the art will readily understand that the examiner or the file processor may be associated with any other computer network, one or more wireless base stations, one or more switches or any other part of a conventional or later-developed communications infrastructure. In one embodiment of the present invention, the file processor modifies the content by performing an action selected from the group consisting of: (1) correcting an error in the content and (2) filtering the content. Those skilled in the art are familiar with other actions that may be taken with respect to data to improve the fidelity or quality thereof or otherwise to modify the data. All such types of modification are within the broad scope of the present invention. In one embodiment of the present invention, the content is compressed. The compression technique may be any conventional or later-developed technique. Of course, the content need not be compressed.
