Apparatus and method for generating scrambling code in a CDMA mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method for generating cell-specific scrambling codes in an asynchronous CDMA mobile communication system. A predetermined number of base scrambling codes are stored as initial conditions. An intended scrambling code is generated by cyclically shifting or masking a corresponding base scrambling code. This provides for generating cell-specific scrambling codes at any point in time to achieve high-speed cell search.
