Home NSP). Through the NAP’s base station, which is identified by a NAP-ID, the subscriber’s
BM2022w can access the Internet through a network service provider (NSP). Access can be
through another network service provider (Visited-Network Service Provider or V-NSP) or his own
network service provider (Home NSP), depending on his service agreement.
In the following scenario, the subscriber’s BM2022w cannot reach a base station owned by his
Home NSP (base station with NAP-ID = 1). The BM2022w uses ND&S and is able to access another
base station with NAP-ID = 2. This base station is associated with another service provider (V-NSP
with NSP-ID = 20). The subscriber’s service agreement specifies to route traffic from the other
service provider to the Home NSP, so the Home NSP authenticates and authorizes the connection.
Figure 31 ND&S Scenario
The channel plan settings specify the allowed frequency range to search for a NAP. The channel
plan is necessary to speed up the network discovery process.
