Battery Life: Performance Analysis and Comparison between Wi-Fi, CBRS, and Macro Deployment, Published in 2024 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC)

Through controlled experiments, this study quantifies device battery drain across Wi-Fi, private CBRS, and macro cellular networks under delay-sensitive traffic. It demonstrates that scheduled private cellular significantly reduces power consumption compared to contention-based Wi-Fi and high-power macro uplinks.
