HE-LTF

Long training symbols, one or more per spatial stream, used to estimate the channel for the HE data that follows.

Reading a capture

The part of the preamble that grows with spatial streams. An eight-stream transmission spends far longer here than a single-stream one, which is a cost that only pays back on a long frame.
