    An independent BSS (IBSS), or ad hoc network, is created by peer devices among themselves without network infrastructure. [6] A temporary network created by a cellular telephone to share its Internet access with other devices is a common example.

  7. HostAP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HostAP

    HostAP is a IEEE 802.11 device driver for Linux.It works with cards using the obsolete Conexant (formerly Intersil) Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset and supports Host AP mode, which allows a WLAN card to perform all the functions of a wireless access point.

  8. IEEE 802.11w-2009 - Wikipedia
