In reading your question, I can only assume you're not planning on performing some form of web service call using HTTP/SOAP. Socket communication is pretty low-level for the kind of tooling SOA Suite supports out-of-the-box, but there is support for JCA adapter connections to BPEL processes in the tool.

Check out the documentation on Oracle JCA Adapter for Sockets first, then see if what you're trying to accomplish will fit with that or not.

If not, you might be better served writing a Java client EJB module or even just a simple .jar and integrate it into your BPEL with it. The documentation for that would be under Integrating Enterprise JavaBeans with SOA Composite Applications

Also, the documentation for SOA Suite is a great place to dig around to see what is natively supported as well as what can be extended:

My apologies if this isn't specific enough for you. I'd like to know more about what you're trying to communicate with, but I imagine that if it's some specialized application or device that doesn't support SOAP/WSDL over HTTP, these probably the best places to start.
