Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The extended service set is a part of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN architecture and is used to expand the range of the basic service set by allowing connection of multiple basic service sets.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Basic Service Set (BSS) forms an ad hoc self-contained network with station-to-station traffic flowing directly, receiving data transmitted by another station, and only filtering traffic based on the MAC address of the receiver (see Figure 5-3).
Detailed explanation-3: -Extended Service Set (ESS) is created by connecting multiple Basic Service Set (BSS) via a distribution system. Two or more Access Points are connected to the same Local Area Network to provide a larger coverage area which allows the client to move from one AP to another AP and still be the part of the LAN.
