The information rate for binary coders is the ratio of the average number of bits transmitted per symbol to the average symbol duration.

Entropy of independent discrete sources is a measure of the uncertainty associated with the information source.

The redundancy of independent discrete sources is the measure of the amount of extra bits required to correct errors in the communication system.
