ESS	BSS
Extended Service Set (ESS)	Basic Service Set (BSS)
ESS has 2 or more access point and Support mobility between AP's by using mobile IP	BSS has only one access point to connect wireless node, so not Support mobility
BSS s are connected through distribution system, which is usually a wired LAN	With AP is called an “infrastructure network”
It allows for wider area of coverage	Area covered by single AP is limited
More users than the Basic Service Set (BSS)	BSS,is the smallest building block of a WLAN
It is not highly secure	It is secure than ESS
