This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Massive MIMO for Future Wireless Networks: Energy Efficiency, Interference Management and Symbiotic IoT Networks
DownloadSpring 2023
Due to the dramatic increase in wireless data traffic and the energy consumption of wireless networks, spectral- and energy-efficient wireless networks are imperative. Using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver structures and cell den- sification through small cell (SC) deployment...

Fall 2010
A significant challenge for fourth generation cellular systems is the reliable delivery of high speed (up to 1 gigabit per second) data to mobile or nomadic users throughout a cluttered urban environment. The wireless channel is a difficult channel over which to achieve high rate reliable...

Receiver Processing and Limited-Feedback User Scheduling for Multiuser MIMO and MIMO-OFDM Downlink
DownloadFall 2009
Use of multiple antennas at both ends of a communication link, known as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), increases the reliability and/or capacity of that link. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an effective technique for high data rate transmission over frequency...

Fall 2022
The amount of mobile data handled by wireless broadband cellular networks is increasing explosively. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have gained a significant importance in modern wireless communication systems. MIMO offers many dimensional advantages that can be utilized to boost...

Fall 2013
We consider the scheduling problem in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with successive zero-forcing precoding and coordinated transmit-receive processing. Focusing specifically on the problem of user and data stream scheduling, we allow variable number of data streams per...

Fall 2018
Stochastic geometry provides a way of defining and computing macroscopic properties of large scale wireless networks, by averaging over all possible spatial patterns of the network nodes. It abstracts the network as realizations of point process models, and analyzes the network performance in a...
