2. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

   The concept of information entropy was introduced by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", [2] [3] and is also referred to as Shannon entropy. Shannon's theory defines a data communication system composed of three elements: a source of data, a communication channel, and a receiver. The "fundamental problem ...

3. Shannon–Hartley theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Hartley_theorem

   The theorem establishes Shannon's channel capacity for such a communication link, a bound on the maximum amount of error-free information per time unit that can be transmitted with a specified bandwidth in the presence of the noise interference, assuming that the signal power is bounded, and that the Gaussian noise process is characterized by a ...

4. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

   In information theory, the noisy-channel coding theorem (sometimes Shannon's theorem or Shannon's limit), establishes that for any given degree of noise contamination of a communication channel, it is possible (in theory) to communicate discrete data (digital information) nearly error-free up to a computable maximum rate through the channel.

5. Channel capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_capacity

   Information-theoretic analysis of communication systems that incorporate feedback is more complicated and challenging than without feedback. Possibly, this was the reason C.E. Shannon chose feedback as the subject of the first Shannon Lecture, delivered at the 1973 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory in Ashkelon, Israel.

   the mutual information, and the channel capacity of a noisy channel, including the promise of perfect loss-free communication given by the noisy-channel coding theorem; the practical result of the Shannon–Hartley law for the channel capacity of a Gaussian channel; as well as; the bit—a new way of seeing the most fundamental unit of information.
