This document discusses achieving a balance between privacy protection and power consumption for location-based services (LBS). It proposes a customized power consumption model to address this tradeoff. The model is based on six factors that influence power usage on smartphones running LBS apps: backlight, CPU, WiFi, memory, bandwidth, and GPS. The execution time of different privacy protection methods can adjust the power consumed by each factor. The model is tested on dummy-based privacy approaches to determine the best k-anonymity value while managing power consumption.
