  1. Definations • basic service set (BSS): A set of stations controlled by a single coordination function. • independent basic service set (IBSS): A BSS that forms a self-contained network, and in which no access to a distribution system (DS) is available. • distribution system (DS): A system used to interconnect a set of basic service sets (BSSs) and inte-grated local area networks (LANs) to create an extended service set (ESS).

  2. network allocation vector (NAV): An indicator, maintained by each station, of time periods whentransmission onto the wireless medium (WM) will not be initiated by the station whether or not the station’sclear channel assessment (CCA) function senses that the WM is busy. • distributed coordination function (DCF): A class of coordination function where the same coordination function logic is active in every station in the basic service set (BSS) whenever the network is in operation.

  3. point coordination function (PCF): A class of possible coordination functions in which the coordination function logic is active in only one station in a basic service set (BSS) at any given time that the network is in operation.
