3 Abstract: In this paper, we have evaluated the cell coverage area for LTE and WiMAX technology theoretically for different frequencies and environments in wireless communication systems. The evaluation was done based on the propagation model-COST HATA231 model, which is suitable for LTE in various environments. Based on this model, we have determined the cell radius and coverage area under some real world application for different continents of the World as per licensed spectrum. We have then compared the cell radius obtained in the case of LTE and WiMAX under different environments and frequencies. The comparison results reveled that the LTE technology not only covers grater area than WiMAX for similar frequencies but also provides high-speed, better Q S and all-IP mode of communications. As the results, it is highly expected to be the best o candidate for future wireless communication system.
