To mitigate ISI :

a) OFDM ( MultiCarrier(MC) Modn )

b) SC Modulation

a) OFDM DRAWBACKS:
1. High PAPR Severe @ mmWave range
2. Intolerance to amplifier nonlinearities
3. High sensitivity to carrier frequency offsets

OFDM Adv : Robustness against frequency selective fading

b) SC Modn + FDE(freq. domain equalizer)

(Less Flexibility comapritively) (No optimal soln to signal detection
over ISI channel)
Advantages of SC-FDE

1. Low PAPR ratio : PA @ Trx side cheaper and efficient

2. Robust to effect of phase noise
3. Smaller number of ADC bits
4. Fc error can destroy orthogonality among subcarriers in ofdm=ISI , Fc has less effect on
SCFDE.
