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.

developed to obtain novel, exact analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the instantaneous end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of variable gain AF relaying systems operating over Rayleigh, Nakagami- extit{m} and Rician fading
framework for exact analysis of generic multihop cooperative relaying systems. This framework is valid for any modulation scheme, any fading channel distribution and any number of relays. The GTCF method is used in the thesis to obtain exact solutions for the ergodic capacity, outage probability and the
average symbol error probability of multihop AF relaying systems. A strength of the GTCF approach is that it can be used with tractable computational effort. The thesis shows the cases where the strength of the GTCF method is paramount, and identifies as well the cases where the use of the GTCF method
