For me on my Tab 4, mobile data consumes more power when compared to its connection with my office wifi.

Mobile Data consumes more battery power than WIFI.

Proximity to The Base Station and Weak Signal From Base Station all contribute to power drain when using mobile data.

Signal Strength plays a key role in determining the battery usage.

If a connection is being tried to be established on either WiFi or 3G and if the signal strength is low, the transmitter in the smartphone will have to amplify the signal to high levels which increases battery usage.

Similarly if the signal keeps dropping and the smartphone will have to scan regularly for either of the signals, the battery power would be used up significantly. In addition to searching for a signal and transmitting, a smartphone will also have to page the base station or cell tower frequently updating that it is alive and transmit other information all of which may contribute to the battery draining quickly.
