Because access-points can (and most of time will) have multiple radio interfaces (one for 802.11b/g/n, one for 802.11a/n/ac and maybe some backhall link or module) . In this way you know on which radio interface the event (which trigged the trap) occurred.

No , AP discover the WLC through the wired connection not through radio .

If you have a Cisco 1000 series LAP in a network, which runs WLC versions 5.0.48.0, the 1000 series LAP does not join the controller and you see this trap message on the WLC.
