The 8,192 scrambling sequences that are commonly used fall into 512 sets, with each set
including one primary scrambling sequence and 15 secondary scrambling sequences
One set
Scrambling No. of the corresponding secondary scrambling group: n=16*i+k k=1, ××× ,15
The primary scrambling code and 15 secondary scrambling codes of each set correspond to
each other.

scrambling code.
n Step1:Slotsynchronization
During the first step of the cell search procedure the UE
uses the SCH's primary synchronization code to acquire
slot synchronization to a cell.

Scrambling planning principle
Lij must be big enough, to make the signal power of a remote BS far less than that of the main BS. In addition,
the signal level of the remote BS should be lower than the noise level. To meet the above requirements, the
Where, Lij is the minimum reuse distance, a is the path loss coefficient, and D passloss is the pass
loss difference. 10log(Lij-max(Ri,Rj))a indicates the minimum pass loss of the remote BS signal
and 10log(max(Ri,Rj))a indicates the maximum pass loss of the main BS signal.

Note: For a 3-sector BS, two sectors within the scrambling reuse distance may have no joint
coverage scope due to the sector coverage direction, so one scrambling code can be reuse.
Therefore, in the case of three sectors, the actual number of distributed scrambling codes
within the scrambling reuse distance can be smaller than the total sector number.
