Question

In his 1948 paper, Shannon showed that, for any communication rate less than capacity, one can communicate with arbitrarily small error probabilities. Reliability and arbitrarily small error are two (2) major characteristics of the Shannon’s paradigm. Describe how they are achieved.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Shannon limit or Shannon capacity of a communication channel refers to the maximum rate of error-free data that can theoretically be transferred over the channel if the link is subject to random data transmission errors, for a particular noise level.....
