= Noisy-channel coding theorem
{wiki=Noisy-channel_coding_theorem}
The Noisy-Channel Coding Theorem is a fundamental result in information theory, established by Claude Shannon in the 1940s. It addresses the problem of transmitting information over a communication channel that is subject to noise, which can distort the signals being sent. The theorem provides a theoretical foundation for the design of codes that can efficiently and reliably transmit information under noisy conditions.
