Self-orthogonality, that's what. 2047 ... or even 1023 ... training symbols in the form of a self-orthogonal training sequence is worth about 200,000 random symbols. While it is very easy to get amplitude information from random symbols, phase information is much harder. It's not terribly hard to track the phase info, one it is obtained from a training sequence.
