Each wireless LAN cell requires some communications and traffic
management. This is coordinated by an Access Point (AP) which
communicates with each wireless station in its coverage area. Stations also
communicate with each other via the AP, so communicating stations can be
hidden from one another. In this way, the AP functions as a relay, extending
the range of the system.
The AP also functions as a bridge between the wireless stations and the
wired network and the other wireless cells. Connecting the AP to the
backbone or other wireless cells can be done by wire or by a separate
wireless link, using wireless bridges. The range of the system can be
extended by cascading several wireless links, one after the other.
