5 Questions
Define information rate for binary coders.
The information rate for binary coders is the ratio of the average number of bits transmitted per symbol to the average symbol duration.
What is the entropy of independent discrete sources?
Entropy of independent discrete sources is a measure of the uncertainty associated with the information source.
What is the redundancy of independent discrete sources?
The redundancy of independent discrete sources is the measure of the amount of extra bits required to correct errors in the communication system.
Explain Markov processes in the context of communication systems.
Markov processes represent a memoryless model for sequences of symbols, where the probability of each symbol only depends on the previous symbol.
What is the purpose of discrete mutual information in communication systems?
Discrete mutual information quantifies the amount of information that one random variable contains about another random variable.
