Method and system for providing a base station-assigned public long code mask

摘要

A method for providing a base station-assigned public long code mask (PLCM) for a wireless communication device is provided that includes generating a base transceiver subsystem (BTS) identifier for a base transceiver subsystem. A reusable wireless communication device (WCD) identifier is generated for the wireless communication device when the wireless communication device communicates with the base transceiver subsystem. A PLCM that includes the BTS identifier and the WCD identifier is assigned to the wireless communication device.
