looping in wireless bridge(WDS)

i am trying to know whether there exists a loop in WDS while using AP. and how it is happening, means what is the minimum requirement for it although it at first seen that it is equivalent to Wired bridge but AP knows about all the hosts belonging to it, so host location learning is not a problem.

I read some technical briefings like

they all say that loop is there but i don't see the reason how as we know AP's know about their hosts MAC very well, so the looping domain must be larger (minimum 5 where there should be one closed path without the source and destination hosts' associated aps i think). and i have also found in a document of CISCO

there "Mr. Shah Rahman" has proposed a "Wireless Spanning Tree Protocol" to "802.11TGs". they all think that loop is there but i want to know its minimum requirements.

so any one knowing these things please send my the reply.
