<p>In <strong>ad-hoc</strong> wireless, <u>devices connect one another, without the need of an orchestrating device</u> such as an AP.</p>

<p>Only <strong>requirements to join an ad-hoc topology</strong> is to support this topology (called <em>Indipendent Basic Service Set</em>, <strong>IBSS</strong>, in 802.11 standards) and being in the coverage range of any other participating device.</p>

<p>The <strong>coverage area of the AP is called <em>Basic Service Area</em></strong> (BSA). Outside of the BSA, a client cannot communicate with other devices in the BSS.</p>
<p>Therefore, BSS and BSA are often used as synonims.</p>
