As the user traffic increases dramatically, wireless local area networks ( WLANs) have been evolving to satisfy increasing traffic demands. IEEE 802.11ac, as the latest amendment to the family of WLAN standards, provides data rates on the order of 10(9). However, due to the large scale deployment of WLANs with such high speeds, their energy consumption has become a critical issue. In this paper, we present a comparative investigation of energy consumption of 802.11ac access point ( AP) in a server-client based testbed by taking into account different parameters such as transmission bandwidth, transmit power level and packet length.
