Techniques are described for forming signals for transmission to a receiver. Two transmitters can form resource blocks with different Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) patterns that are orthogonal over time and/or frequency to each other. The transmitters can simultaneously transmit the same resource block but with different DMRS patterns. If a receiver is mounted with two antennas, the receiver can utilize a MIMO receiver to differentiate resource blocks from two transmitters.
