A physical layer (PHY) preamble of a PHY data unit is generated, including generating one or more short orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for one or more long training fields of the PHY preamble. Each of the one or more short OFDM symbols corresponds to a frequency domain sequence having a number of tones. Every N-th tone is modulated and tones between modulated tones are zero tones, where N is a positive integer greater than one. A time duration of each short OFDM symbol is 1/N of a time duration of a full inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) of the frequency domain sequence. A data portion of the PHY data unit is generated, including generating one or more long OFDM symbols. A time duration of each long OFDM symbol is greater than a time duration of each of the one or more short OFDM symbols.
