This paper presents an analytical model of power consumption for In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD) Wireless Local-Area Networks (WLANs). Energy-efficiency is compared for both Half-Duplex (HD) and IBFD networks. The presented analytical model closely matches the results generated by simulation. For a given traffic scenario, IBFD systems exhibit higher power consumption, however at improved energy efficiency when compared to equivalent HD WLANs.
