Scrambling Codes (SCs) are the internal method used to identify and distinguish sectors from one
another in 3GPP compliant WCDMA networks. Mobile handsets utilize Scrambling Codes to report to
the network about which sectors they are able to access. This information is then used to: (a)
determine which sector will broadcast to the handset, and (b) assign potential and actual handover
pairings.
This document will provide an overview of common problematic Scrambling Code scenarios and their
solutions, followed by an advanced methodology for optimal allocation of Scrambling Codes.
