Power consumption of WLAN network elements

Power consumption data of Access Points (APs) and Network Interface Cards (NICs) in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is presented in this report. Publicly available product data sheets, research articles, technical reports, white papers and user manuals were surveyed for this purpose. Provided database shall be a useful reference for the research community to parametrize studies of power consumption of WLANs.
