In plain words

PhysicalCellGroupConfig configures cell-group-specific L1 parameters in TS 38.331 V19.4.0. Its p-NR-FR1 field gives the "maximum total transmit power to be used" by the UE in this NR cell group across all serving cells in frequency range 1 (FR1). It has 74 fields, added across Rel-15 to Rel-19: 13 in Rel-15, 22 in Rel-16, 28 in Rel-17, 8 in Rel-18, and 3 in Rel-19.

How this page was made

The facts box comes straight from the 3GPP TDoc list and specification archive as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
