The word "hop" means a short jump on one foot. In wireless networks, data packets find their paths through routers or in general gateways. Each time a packet is passed to the next router a "hop" occurs. The function of intermediate hops is to relay data from one hop to the next one. Therefore in a wireless network, single-hop means that there is only one hop between source station and destined host. Wireless stations are connected to wireless access points (WAPs) which connects to router via a wired network. In other words, host connects to base station (i.e. wireless access point such as WiFi, WiMAX, cellular) which connects to larger network (e.g. internet).
