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.

Compact and accurate hardware simulation of wireless channels for single and multiple antenna systems
DownloadFall 2009
The accurate simulation of wireless channels is important since it permits the realistic and repeatable performance measurement of wireless systems. While software simulation is a flexible method for testing hardware models, its long-running simulation time can be prohibitive in many scenarios....

Spring 2013
The goal of error control coding is to encode information in such a way, that in the event that errors occur during transmission over a noisy communication channel or during storage in an unreliable memory, the receiver can correct the errors and recover the original transmitted information....

Spring 2023
AlbertaSat is a group of researchers and students at the University of Alberta who are developing low-cost satellites with open-source software that follow the CubeSat form factor. It is one of the projects funded by the Canadian CubeSat Project, whose goal is to provide a hands-on satellite...

Hardware-Efficient Approximate Arithmetic Circuits for Deep Learning and Other Computation-Intensive Applications
DownloadSpring 2020
Approximate computing (AC) is an emerging paradigm that leverages the inherent error tolerance of many applications-such as image recognition, multimedia processing, and machine learning (ML)-to allow some accuracy to be traded off to save energy consumption. AC techniques can be applied at both...

Parallel Implementations of Detection Algorithms for MIMO Systems on The Graphics Processing Unit
DownloadSpring 2014
In this thesis, the acceleration of detection algorithms for multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) wireless systems is investigated. First we use the graphics processing unit (GPU), which provides thousands of parallel threads, to accelerate our detectors. The simulation environment for the...

Parallel-Node Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Code Encoder and Decoder Architectures
DownloadSpring 2010
We present novel architectures for parallel-node low-density parity-check convolutional code (PN-LDPC-CC) encoders and decoders. Based on a recently introduced implementation-aware class of LDPC-CCs, these encoders and decoders take advantage of increased node-parallelization to simultaneously...

Fall 2014
The pairing of implantable micro-electrode arrays with micro-electronic devices allows the observation of neural activity within nervous systems in a more comprehensive and potentially more effective way compared to single electrode recording. State-of-the-art tethered recording systems use...
