![]() ![]() The ad hoc wireless network will satisfy most needs of users occupying a small area such as a single room, office or home. This type of network is often referred to as an ad hoc network, because it can be constructed quickly and without much planning. An IBSS is a BSS that has no backbone infrastructure and consists of at least two wireless stations. These are the points at which a non IEEE LAN connects to an IEEE 802.11 distribution system. IEEE 802.11 architectures are integrated with others using portals. These associations are dynamic and are managed and maintained by the use of a distribution system service (DSS). To become a member of a BSS, each station must become associated to the network. The association between stations is dynamic, stations can come in and out or range or be switched off. A central concept of a BSS is that all stations must ‘hear’ each other, that is, be within radio or optical range. ![]() Each BSS area roughly corresponds to the coverage of a number of stations. The BSS is the basic building block of an IEEE 802.11 LAN. Edward Insam PhD, BSc, in TCP/IP Embedded Internet Applications, 2003 Basic service sets (BSS)
