Explanation
802.11s is the IEEE standard specifically designed to define Mesh networking, establishing how wireless devices form self-configuring, multi-hop mesh topologies where nodes relay traffic for each other. The other options address entirely different concerns: 802.11i covers wireless security enhancements (WPA2/encryption), 802.11r enables fast BSS transitions (fast roaming between access points), and 802.11e adds Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization for multimedia traffic. A useful memory trick: the letter "s" in 802.11s stands for "self-organizing" or "spread" - both concepts central to how mesh networks dynamically extend coverage without centralized infrastructure.
