What modulation is used in 1G?

The first generation mobile systems are based on analog technology. The first technology uses frequency modulation (FM) and frequency division duplexing (FDD), frequency division multiple access (FDMA) . The common signalling channels were used in first generation cellular systems.

What is FDMA in LTE?

SC-FDMA is a hybrid modulation scheme that combines the low peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of traditional single-carrier formats such as GSM with the multipath resistance and in-channel frequency scheduling flexibility of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). Acronyms galore: LTE history and context.
