Channel Coding the Road to Channel Capacity
Channel capacity is indicated by C. In communications channel coding is an effective way to reduce the information rate down to channel capacity so that the information can be transmitted reliably through the channel. Channel Capacity An Overview Sciencedirect Topics International Journal of Wireless Mobile Networks IJWMN Vol. . CiteSeerX - Document Details Isaac Councill Lee Giles Pradeep Teregowda. Starting from Shannons celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem we trace the evolution of channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. It is shown that channel coding needs redundancy and the fundamental theorem of channel coding is stated. Channel capacity or the Shannon limit measures how fast information can be reliably transmitted over a communications channel. C solely depends on channel properties. 4 Remarks This quantity relates to one single use of the channel one symbol IXYdepends both on source and ...
