LTE uses 3 modulations scheme

QPSK
16-QAM
64-QAM

QPSK uses phase Shift.

16QAM uses phase shift and

amplitude

64QAM uses phase shift and

amplitude.

Forward Error Correction (FEC)

 At the beginning of each sub-frame, the first two or three

symbols or Resource Elements are allocated with
scheduling information for the UE. It is the information
about the locations of the control channels.
