Claim:
A system, comprising: at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor, communicatively coupled to the at least one memory, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least: identify a segment of a wireless communications network for assignment of scrambling codes to a plurality of base stations located within the segment; determine a core of the segment, wherein the core is a portion of the segment comprising at least a pre-defined number of base stations; reserve a first set of scrambling codes of the scrambling codes for a first set of base stations of the plurality of base stations within the core; define a center for the segment; assign a second set of scrambling codes of the scrambling codes to a second set of base stations of the plurality of base stations in the segment, wherein the assignment is performed in an order based on distances of the second set of base stations from the center, and wherein a first base station in the first set of base stations and a second base station of the second set of base stations are assigned a same scrambling code; and convey the first set of scrambling codes and the second set of scrambling codes to the first set of base stations and the second set of base stations, respectively.
