The wireless communication device (14) in particular is configured to ^ generate a random access preamble signal (16) that comprises multiple symbol groups (18), with each symbol group (18) on a single tone during a different time resource, according to a frequency hopping pattern that hops the random access preamble signal (16) a ^ fixed frequency distance at one or more symbol groups (18) and hops the random access preamble signal (16) a pseudo random fre- quency distance at one or more other symbol groups (18). Each symbol group (18) comprises one or more symbols. The wireless S communication device (14) is also configured to transmit the random access preamble signal (16).
