Embodiments herein relate to a method in a user equipment (10) for requesting access to a radio communications network (1), which user equipment (10) comprises at least two transmit antenna ports. The user equipment (10) obtains one or more random access preambles to be used to access the radio communications network. The user equipment (10) transmits; in case of obtaining one random access preamble, the one random access preamble over the at least two transmit antenna ports. In case of obtaining more than one random access preambles, the user equipment (10) transmits each random access preamble over a separate antenna port out of the at least two transmit antenna ports.
