LTE vs WiMAX First, both are 4G technologies designed to move data rather than voice and both are IP networks based on OFDM technology. The crucial difference is that, unlike WiMAX, which requires a new network to be built, LTE runs on an evolution of the existing UMTS infrastructure already used by over 80 per cent of mobile subscribers globally. This means that even though development and deployment of the LTE standard may lag Mobile WiMAX, it has a crucial incumbent advantage. Devices Maturity

Long Term Evolution (LTE)
LTE is the latest standard in the mobile network technology tree that previously realized the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSxPA network technologies that now account for over 85% of all mobile subscribers. LTE will ensure 3GPP s competitive edge over other cellular technologies. Goals include Significantly increase peak data rates, scaled linearly according to spectrum allocation improving spectral efficiency lowering costs improving services making use of new spectrum opportunities Improved quality of service better integration with other open standards

3GPP LTE - Evolved UTRA - Radio Interface Concepts DOWNLINK : OFDMA Transmission Scheme The OFDMA systems break the available bandwidth into many narrower sub-carriers and transmit the data in parallel streams. Each sub-carrier is modulated using varying levels of QAM modulation, e.g. QPSK, QAM, 64QAM or possibly higher orders depending on signal quality
3GPP LTE - Evolved UTRA - Radio Interface Concepts UPLINK: Key Requirements Less Equipment Complexity: The complexity of the equipment should be minimized Less Transmit Power Requirements: The maximum transmit power required by the equipment should be low (low PAPR) Coverage at Cell Boundaries: Coverage of the UE should be large, which increases the quality of service at the cell boundaries. High Data Rate: The UE should support high rate applications.
3GPP LTE - Evolved UTRA - Radio Interface Concepts UPLINK: SC-FDMA transmission Scheme To facilitate efficient power amplifier design in the UE, 3GPP chose single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) in favor of OFDMA for uplink multiple access SC-FDMA improves the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) compared to OFDMA ~4 db improvement for QPSK, ~2 db improvement for 16-QAM Reduced power amplifier cost for mobile Reduced power amplifier back-off improved coverage
