<br/><br/> This  research  analyses  the  different  performances  of 3G,LTE  and  WiMAX networks to indicate which is more suitable in which kind of environments. Firstly,  each  technology  is  studied  in  detail  such  as  the  network  architecture,  the system  features  and  the  protocol  stacks.  Due  to  this  study,  the  similar  features  of  these technologies  are  realized.  They  are  either  the  logical  features,  for  example  the  hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), or the physical features like the multiple access, the antenna advanced systems, and mobility management. These factors will be affected to the coverage and capacity of each network. Their effect  is expressed over the  simulations from published papers. The results of those simulations are analyzed to show how they are different.Due to the analysis those results, using these technologies can be known. They can either cooperate  together  to  complement  their  disadvantages  or  improve  their  benefits  in the particular environment or they can operate individual in the certain area.
