WLAN Topologies

 Three types of WLAN Topologies:

Independent Basic Service Sets (IBSS)
Basic Service Set (BSS)
Extended Service Set (ESS)
 Service Set – A logical grouping of devices

WLAN Topologies

 WLANs provide network access by broadcasting a

signal across a wireless radio frequency
 Transmitter prefaces its transmissions with a Service
Set Identifier (SSID)
 A station may receive transmissions from transmitters
with the same or different SSIDs.
