In short Scrambling or scrambling code is used to distinguish different transmitters.

In LTE we use PCI which is a set of 504 IDs (derived from 3 primary synch sequences and 168 secondary sequences) used to scramble certain downlink transmissions so the UE can distinguish signals from different cells.
