Abstract:
A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes receiving a long training field (LTF) in a preamble of a packet. A power of the LTF is boosted relative to a power of a data field of the packet. The method also includes receiving a power amplifier (PA) model or a PA distortion error from a transmitting device. The method further includes regenerating a post-PA transmitted LTF based on the PA model or the PA distortion error. The method additionally includes demodulating the data field based on an estimated channel with deboosting.
