This means that your phone transmit at a level which saturates BTS's
receive chain. Osmo-trx can't demodulate the signal and prints this
message.

I don't have much experience with USRPs, but general way to avoid this is:
1) Decrease "ms max power", so that phone starts with lower power,
2) Reduce "rxgain" in osmo-bts config
3) Add an attenuator to your Tx/Rx chains.

This means that you're loosing samples between the device and UHD.
Can't help you much here, because it's device specific. May be Thomas
can suggest something.

This is not the end of the world, but it may lead to all kinds of
unstable behavior similar to when you have really bad radio link and
bursts are dropped randomly.
