In IEEE 802.11 terminology, a distribution system interconnects Basic Service Set (BSS) to build a premise-wide network that allows users of mobile equipment to roam and stay connected to the available network resources. Distribution systems can be wired, usually via Ethernet or wireless when using the radio device inside the access point.
