An AP sets the ESS subfield to 1 and the IBSS subfield to 0 within transmitted Beacon or Probe Response frames. A peer station within an IBSS (ad hoc network) sets the ESS subfield to 0 and the IBSS subfield to 1 in transmitted Beacon or Probe Response frames.

| bcPrivacy | A value that indicates if encryption is required for all data frames.
An AP sets the Privacy subfield to 1 within transmitted Beacon and Probe Response frames if WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption is required for all data type frames exchanged within the BSS. If WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption is not required, the Privacy subfield is set to 0.
A peer station within and IBSS sets the Privacy subfield to 1 within transmitted Beacon and Probe Response frames if WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption is required for all data type frames exchanged within the IBSS. If WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption is not required, the Privacy subfield is set to 0.
