CWNP Exam CWNA-109 Topic 4 Question 28 Discussion

A BSS (Basic Service Set) is a WLAN use case that represents an 802.11-based network that uses an AP (Access Point) and has several connecting clients. The AP acts as a central point of coordination and communication for the clients, which can include iPhones, iPads, laptops, desktops, or any other devices that have Wi-Fi capabilities. A BSS can be identified by a unique BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier), which is usually the MAC address of the AP's radio interface. A BSS can also be associated with an SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is a human-readable name that identifies the network.Reference:, Chapter 1, page 23; , Section 1.1
