The present invention relates to a method for generating, in a multiple access communication system, two-dimensional pilot signal patterns for propagation channel estimation in time and frequency, with equidistant sampling. The method includes the steps of: generating a generic pilot pattern that covers completely a first dimension and covers partially a second dimension, within a segment of the second dimension where the propagation channel is considered to have a constant value, and performing periodical duplication of the generic pilot pattern along the second dimension, where the duplication interval of the generic pilot pattern is equal to the required sampling interval in the second dimension. The invention also relates to a transmitter and a receiver of a multiple access communication system, such as a multiple access communication system and a radio multiple access communication system.
