CWNP: CWTS - Service Sets
My study guide/notes... my definitions may not be perfect, but they help me with concepts.
Service Set (SS) - all the devices connected to a wireless LAN.
Basis Service Set (BSS) - a single access point and all of its connected devices
Independent BSS / Ad Hoc / Peer-to-peer - devices talk to each other without a central authority like an access point
Infrastructure BSS - an access point that connects to a larger distribution network
Extended Service Set (ESS) - a collection of BSS that are working together to provide wireless service in an area
Basis Service Set Identification (BSSID) - the MAC address of the access point
Service Set Identifier (SSID) - the unique identifier for a BSS or ESS, what we commonly call the name of the wireless network

CWNP
I'm looking into the Certified Wireless Network Professional program for my next cert. CWNP is vendor agnostic. I've never formally done any training or studying on the wireless side, but after reading a couple of chapters, I'm excited about the (no surprise) overlap with ham radio topics. I spotted a ham calling "CQ" in the CWNP forum.
