• Explain and motivate analysis methodologies of energy efficiency of mobile networks
• identify key problems of energy effieciency of mobile networks
• Be able to evaluate, besides wireless networks, the overall energy consumption of computer networks in a holistic view, including backhaul/fronthaul and cloud networks.

Advanced level wireless communication and networks
