ParkerVision

6.1.2   BSS - Continued

6.1.3   ESS

An 

Extended Service Set (ESS)

 consists of a series of overlapping BSSs, each containing an 

Wireless Router, with each Wireless Router connected together by a wired network. 

This wired connection between APs is called a 

Distribution System (DS)

. An 

ESSID (ESS 

IDentification)

 uniquely identifies each ESS.  All Wireless Routers and their associated wireless 

stations within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to communicate.
