802.11b is for Wireless communication (WLAN). It does not fall under a specific "traditional" type of topology.

The Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is primarily based on three topologies: the star topology, the ring topology, and the mesh topology. In a star topology, all devices connect to a central hub or switch, facilitating straightforward communication. The ring topology connects devices in a circular fashion, allowing data to pass in one direction, while the mesh topology offers multiple pathways between nodes for redundancy and reliability. Each topology serves distinct purposes in the overall structure of the PSTN.
Tree Topology allows for the expansion of an existing network

An Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) is a peer-to-peer IEEE 802 wireless LAN configuration which does not use an access point infrastructure.

ESS
It's a network architecture which employs wireless devices. Compared to "classical" network topology, where the cable is network medium, in wireless networks is the air a network medium. It means, that all data travels through the air. Wireless topology can be of 2 basic categories: Ad-hoc = no central device, just a bunch of computers connected together through their wireless network adapters. Infrastructure = there is a central device called "access point" to which all client computers connect. This access point provides interconnectivity between clients and also sometimes between the wireless and wired network.
A wireless mesh network really doesn't make sense; the mesh topology assumes that every node in the network has a connection to every other node, and is primarily used for fault tolerance.With wireless technology there is no concept of a "connection", therefore having a mesh topology with a wireless network would be very difficult.Wi-Fi is a wireless technology.
