Information on Dedicated Control Channels

GSM dedicated control channels carry data used during connection establishment and for handover decisions. The GSM stand-alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH) is used for signaling between base station and mobile station during call setup. The GSM slow associated control channel (SACCH) carries measurement reports required for handover decisions. The GSM fast associated control channel (FACCH) has the same purpose as the stand-alone dedicated control channel, but borrows capacity from a traffic channel rather than having capacity specifically allocated by the base station.
