The present invention provides a method of processing information prior to an emission from a multi-antenna device in a multi-user network having at least one user, said emission comprising transmission of a plurality of subcarriers comprising pilot symbols and data symbols, and said information being a data vector, the method comprising arranging said pilot symbols and said data symbols such that at least one of said plurality of subcarriers comprises at least one of said pilot symbols and at least one of said data symbols, wherein said data vector corresponds to said at least one of said plurality of subcarriers such that said data vector comprises data elements corresponding to said at least one of said pilot symbols and said at least one of said data symbols, precoding said data vector prior to transmission, and the precoding comprising applying a perturbation to said data vector in order to generate a perturbed data vector in which data elements corresponding to the pilot symbol remain unperturbed, and scaling said data vector by means of a precoding matrix.
