Specially, the consume of electrical energy associated with communications network also eached significantly levels. In this context, researches related to energy efficiency are extremely important.Therefore, this work aims to evaluate the consumption of electrical energy related to IEEE802.11 networks, searching for the relation between this consumption and different parameters of QoS. / Atualmente, o crescimento do consumo de energia el?trica se constitui em preocupa??o mundial, devido ? possibilidade de escassez das fontes prim?rias. Em especial, o consumo de energia el?trica associado ?s redes de comunica??o tamb?m atingiu n?veis significativos. Nesse contexto, pesquisas associadas ? ?rea de efici?ncia energ?tica s?o de fundamental import?ncia. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o consumo de energia el?trica associado a redes IEEE802.11, investigando a rela??o dessa grandeza com diferentes par?metros de Qualidade de Servi?o (QoS).
