Overordnede kursusmål
To give the participants detailed knowledge about the energy
consumption of communication systems. How can we use communication
systems (smart cities, optimized transportation systems etc.) to
address UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while not at
the same time spending too much energy on the communication
systems? What is the relation between information transfer and
energy consumption? Is IoT and 5G a blessing or a curse?
The course will be a mix of short lectures, guest lectures from the
industry and students presenting their own cases/ideas.
