In some embodiments, a method is provided in a radio network node for transmitting a reference signal over an antenna port, wherein the reference signal is transmitted in a code division multiplexing, CDM, group. The CDM group comprises at least two CDM subgroups, each CDM subgroup being transmitted on a different subcarrier. Each CDM subgroup comprises resource elements. In a first step, the radio network node transmits the reference signal over a first CDM subgroup using an orthogonal cover code. The first CDM subgroup comprises resource elements in a first time slot and a subsequent time slot. In a further step, the radio network node transmits the reference signal over a second CDM subgroup using a permutation of the orthogonal cover code. The second CDM subgroup comprises resource elements in the first time slot and the second time slot. The permutation of the orthogonal cover code is selected in such a way as to enable decoding of the reference signal in the frequency domain, by applying the orthogonal cover code only to resource elements in the CDM group which are comprised in the first time slot.
