A method of assigning a public long code mask (PLCM) to a mobile terminal in a mobile communications network is provided. The method comprises assigning a first PLCM type, when the mobile communications network assigns the PLCM for the mobile terminal; and assigning a second PLCM type, when the PLCM for the mobile terminal is determined based on an electronic serial number (ESN) associated with the mobile terminal.
