Introduction of mixed model

Its flexible of mixed configuration.
The principle is:
z
First basic frame, then expansion frame;
WCCU/WCSU and WBSG are configured in basic frame first,

then expansion frame;
WEPI is configured in basic frame first, then expansion frame.

How does the system process TDM signaling?
How does the system process IP signaling?
How does the system process ATM signaling?
After HLR receive SRI from MSC, HLR will send PRN to VLR.
In this case, whats the signaling flow?
