 The sum of each TRX configured maximum output power is bigger than PA maximum output power.
 In the area with little traffic, BCCH carrier power configuration can be appropriately added by taking use

of dynamic power, and the remaining power is dynamically real-time shared among all TCH carriers to
enlarge coverage and reduce site quantity.
