Reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in wireless local area network (WLAN) transmissions by optimizing the long training field (LTF) sequence used for channel estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) WLAN systems like WiFi 6 (802.11ax). The method involves generating the LTF sequence specifically for the WLAN tone plan and resource unit (RU) sizes. This reduces PAPR compared to reusing sequences from older OFDM systems. The LTF is generated by selecting subcarriers corresponding to scheduled resource blocks instead of padding with zeros. This provides a better match between the LTF and data subcarriers.
