: If GSM is configured with 72 carriers (S24/24/24), each carrier can be configured with one Standalone Dedicated Control CHannel (SDCCH) only; if GSM is configured with 24 carriers
(S8/8/8), each carirer can be configured three SDCCHs.
2.2 Signaling Specifications
In SRAN8.0, the signaling specifications supported by the UMPTa1 and UMPTa2 are the same as
the signaling specifications supported by the UMPTb1.
If GSM is configured with 72 carriers (S24/24/24), each carrier can be configured with one
Standalone Dedicated Control CHannel (SDCCH) only; if GSM is configured with 24 carriers
(S8/8/8), each carirer can be configured three SDCCHs.
