Abstract

A wireless device generates a High Efficiency (HE) Physical layer Protocol Data Units (PPDU) including a non-High Throughput Signal (L-SIG) field and transmits the HE PPDU. Transmitting the HE PDDU includes transmitting a set of extra tones with the L-SIG field. The set of extra tones include a sequence of values, and first, second, third, and fourth values of the sequence of values respectively correspond to BPSK constellation values of −1, −1, −1, and +1. The set of extra tones may include −28th, −27th, 27th, and 28th subcarriers, relative to a center (zero) subcarrier, of a 20 MHz bandwidth of the HE PPDU, and may be used to transmit the first, second, third, and fourth values of the sequence of values, respectively. Another wireless device may receive the HE PPDU, and may use the set of extra tones to estimate a channel.
