In its generic form, a base station is a wireless transceiver that connects a wired network with wireless clients. A base station makes this connection in a way that makes the wired and wireless clients appear to be in the same network. A base station in its basic form can only connect to wireless clients, and not to another base station.

In mobile telecommunication, a base station is the central radio transmitter/ receiver that maintains communication with the mobile radio telephone sets within range. In cellular and personal communications applications, each cell or microcell has its own base station; each base station in turn is interconnected with other cells' bases.
A fixed station used for communicating with mobile stations. Depending upon the context, the term base station may refer to a cell, a sector within a cell, an MSC, or other part of the cellular system. It is sometimes used loosely in the standards to mean any land side functionality. See also Mobile Switching Center.
