Kontakt underviseren for information om hvorvidt dette kursus giver den studerende mulighed for at lave eller forberede et projekt som kan deltage i DTUs studenterkonference om bæredygtighed, klimateknologi og miljø (GRØN DYST). Se mere på http://www.groendyst.dtu.dk
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.
