Abstract :
In this paper, we have discussed the capacity and efficiency, complexity, and coverage features of both Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communications technologies. As these features influence the performance of the two technologies, it is important to know each technology advantages and disadvantages from these characteristics point of view. The paper delves into the intricacies of the two technologies to find out which is the next generation leading wireless technology, through finding the key parameters which make the one of driven technologies appear powerfully in the lead.
