1. A method to provide compact representation of multi-code signaling, the method comprising:
determining a number of multi-codes;
determining a code offset; and
formulating a codeword, the codeword comprising a code group indicator of the determined number of multi-codes and an offset indicator of the determined code offset,
wherein the formulated codeword comprises a compact representation of multi-code signaling and is decodable without the need for a look-up table, and wherein the codeword is used to assign codes and a code offset to mobile stations.
