CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator v108 — Question 38

An 802.11-based network uses an AP and has several connecting clients. The clients include iPhones, iPads, laptops and one desktop. What WLAN use case is represented?

Answer options

• A. Ad-hoc
• B. WPAN
• C. BSS
• D. IBSS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, BSS (Basic Service Set), which refers to a group of devices connected to the same access point in an 802.11 network. The other options are incorrect because Ad-hoc and IBSS refer to peer-to-peer connections without a central access point, while WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) typically involves a different technology like Bluetooth.
