A complex spreading and/or scrambling code sequence ("scrambling code sequence") generation system uses a first complex code sequence having at least two components and a second complex code sequence having at least two components. The components of the first complex code sequence are respectively mixed with the corresponding components of the second complex code sequence to generate the complex scrambling code sequence. In doing so, an offset between the components of the complex scrambling code sequence is achieved for the same and/or different users. For example, the complex spreading code sequence generation system can use a long code generator which produces a long code sequence produced from the inner product of a code vector and a user mask. The long code sequence is provided to an I path and a Q path. To produce a complex long code sequence, the long code sequence on the Q path is delayed to produce a second long code sequence on the Q path or a Q component of the complex long code sequence. On the I path, the I long code sequence or the I component of the complex long code sequence is multiplied with an I component of a short code sequence to produce the I component of the complex scrambling code sequence. On the Q path, the Q long code sequence is multiplied with a Q component of the short code sequence to produce the Q component of the complex scrambling code sequence. As such, the offset between the components of the complex scrambling code sequence between different and/or the same user is at least the period of the short code. The complex scrambling code sequence can be used for spreading, scrambling, de-spreading or de-scrambling an information signal.
