Basic service set

The basic service set (BSS) is a set of all stations that can communicate with each other.

There are two types of BSS: independent BSS, and infrastructure BSS.

Every BSS has an identification (ID) called the BSSID, which is the MAC address of the access point servicing the BSS.

An independent BSS is an ad-hoc network that contains no access points, which means they can not connect to any other basic service set.

An infrastructure BSS can communicate with other stations not in the same basic service set by communicating through access points.
