Abstract: For example, a wireless communication device may be configured to disable a per-antenna Cyclic Shift Diversity (CSD) insertion for a Long Training Field (LTF) of a Physical Layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), for example, based on a determination that the PPDU is to be configured for a predefined type of channel-sounding-based measurement.
