Channel Capacity
When to Use
Use this skill when working on channel-capacity problems in information theory.
Decision Tree
-
Mutual Information
- I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)
- I(X;Y) = H(X) - H(X|Y) = H(Y) - H(Y|X)
- Symmetric: I(X;Y) = I(Y;X)
scipy.stats.entropy(p) + scipy.stats.entropy(q) - joint_entropy
-
Channel Model
- Input X, output Y, channel P(Y|X)
- Channel matrix: rows = inputs, columns = outputs
- Element (i,j) = P(Y=j | X=i)
-
Channel Capacity
- C = max_{p(x)} I(X;Y)
- Maximize over input distribution
- Achieved by capacity-achieving distribution
-
Common Channels
Channel Capacity Binary Symmetric (BSC) 1 - H(p) where p = crossover prob Binary Erasure (BEC) 1 - epsilon where epsilon = erasure prob AWGN 0.5 * log2(1 + SNR) -
Blahut-Arimoto Algorithm
- Iterative algorithm to compute capacity
- Alternates between optimizing p(x) and p(y|x)
- Converges to capacity

Tool Commands
Scipy_Mutual_Info
uv run python -c "from scipy.stats import entropy; p = [0.5, 0.5]; q = [0.6, 0.4]; H_X = entropy(p, base=2); H_Y = entropy(q, base=2); print('H(X)=', H_X, 'H(Y)=', H_Y)"
Sympy_Bsc_Capacity
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/sympy_compute.py simplify "1 + p*log(p, 2) + (1-p)*log(1-p, 2)"
Z3_Capacity_Bound
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/z3_solve.py prove "I(X;Y) <= H(X)"
Key Techniques
From indexed textbooks:
- [Elements of Information Theory] Elements of Information Theory -- Thomas M_ Cover & Joy A_ Thomas -- 2_, Auflage, New York, NY, 2012 -- Wiley-Interscience -- 9780470303153 -- 2fcfe3e8a16b3aeefeaf9429fcf9a513 -- Anna’s Archive. Using a randomly generated code, Shannon showed that one can send information at any rate below the capacity C of the channel with an arbitrarily low probability of error. The idea of a randomly generated code is very unusual.
